How can I tell if crocodile leather is real?

How can I tell if crocodile leather is real?
To tell if crocodile leather is genuine, start by examining the grain. A crocodile's scales gradually shift in size from large to small. If the grain pattern is perfectly regular or alternates between small and large scales, it is unlikely to be real.
