These are real American alligator feet that have been made into keychains. The feet have been professionally cleaned.
American alligators in the wild are protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. All of our alligator products come from ranches and are not taken from the wild. Chichester is registered with New York state as an authorized retailer, wholesaler, and importer of alligator products.
The feet are from alligators that have been ranch-raised for food. The alligators were not killed just for their feet.
Not for export in small quantities due to CITES regulations.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) requires entities in New York to possess an annual Endangered/Threatened Species - Crocodilian Permit to sell or offer for sale alligator, caiman, and crocodile products in the state of New York.
