    Crocodile, I think. A search for "how to tell crocodile from alligator leather" turned up assorted videos, as well as AI summary:

    Crocodile leather has a more varied, rugged look with prominent scales and visible pores on nearly every scale, while alligator leather offers a smoother, more uniform, symmetrical pattern with smaller scales and fewer pores (mostly on the belly), feeling softer and more supple, with alligator often considered more premium and expensive due to its refined appearance, making it ideal for high-end goods, though crocodile's durability suits heavy-wear items like boots.

    I'm not either, and only post it here when it checks out with other available sources, from which it has usually cribbed, or is laughably wrong, as a cautionary tale.

    You need that to wear with your red fox wrap that has the head that holds on to the tail with a clip in its mouth.

    If asked, it's dinosaur hide. You killed the velociraptor yourself on an off Tuesday before breakfast.
