Chinese crocodile lizard

The Chinese crocodile lizard (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) is a semiaquatic anguimorph lizard found only in cool forests in southeastern China and northeastern Vietnam. The Chinese crocodile lizard spends much of its time in shallow water or in overhanging branches and vegetation, where it hunts its prey of insects, snails, tadpoles, and worms. Individuals in captivity may be fed baby mice. A rare and little-studied lizard, it is listed in CITES Appendix II, which regulates international trade of specimens. The Chinese crocodile lizard is the only member of the monotypic superfamily Shinisauroidea and the sole extant species in Shinisauria, a clade of lizards whose fossil record extends back to the Early Cretaceous, over 120 million years ago.
