Can Chinese Alligator hybridize with American Alligator?
gpt
Both species (*Alligator mississippiensis* and *Alligator sinensis*) have 32 chromosomes. They are from the same genus. Theoretically it should be possible. There is a massive size difference between the species though. American alligators can grow to 1000 pounds while chinese alligators rarely exceed 100 pounds. So to answer your question probably yes, but probably not naturally.
