Large crocodilian (9)

I believe the answer is:

alligator

(Other definitions for alligator that I've seen before include "It could be in zoo" , "Amphibious reptile" , "that is scaled" , "Large carnivorous reptile" , "Croc's close relative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Evening Standard and The Independent.
