Reports are crocodiles in China reached 10 feet (3.0 m) in the last century, but now generally regarded apokrif. Unlike the American alligator, Chinese alligator fully armored, even belly is armored, which is characteristic of only a few crocodile

Although these ranges through much of China, wild habitat of this species' was reduced to little more than a few pool of 100 to 200 people along Lake Tai and lower Yangtze River in the province of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and. Population reduction was largely due to habitat conversion to agricultural use. Most of the common wetland habitat they have been transformed into a field. Poisoning rats, which then feed the crocodile, also being blamed for their decline. In the last decade, very little wild nests have been found, and even less to produce offspring eligible.

China crocodile species listed as CITES Appendix I, which places extreme restrictions on trade and exports around the world. This IUCN Red Listed as endangered species. Efforts to reintroduce breeding animals into suitable wild habitat, but so far have not met with much success.

Chinese alligator productive enough in captivity, with an estimated total population of more than 10,000 breeding animals, especially in Anhui Research Center of Chinese Alligator Reproduction and Madras Crocodile Bank, as well as in many zoos, including St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park has successfully bred Chinese alligators and have been fortunate enough to release some of them back to the wild in China. They can also be seen in the reptile house of the Toledo Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, Memphis Zoo, St. Louis Zoo, the Philadelphia Zoo, and San Diego Zoo. In order to ensure the survival of the species', the Chinese alligator hatched in a zoo in the United States are being introduced back into the wild in China.

In some restaurants and food centers in China booming district, young crocodiles and premature allowed to roam freely with their mouths taped shut. They were then killed for human consumption, such as in China crocodile meat suspected to cure flu and prevent cancer. In China organs from China Alligator sold as a remedy for a number of diseases.
