Is Alligator vegan?

Alligators are large reptiles in the genus Alligator of the family Alligatoridae, with two extant species: the American alligator and the Chinese alligator. In cosmetics and leather goods, alligator-derived ingredients typically come from the animal's skin; meat and tissue extracts are also occasionally used. All such uses are not vegan or vegetarian.
