American member of the Crocodylia order (9)

I believe the answer is:

alligator

(Other definitions for alligator that I've seen before include "Long-jawed reptile" , "River creature" , "predator" , "Reptile of the Florida Everglades" , "Broad-snouted snapper?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
