Indeed, it does look very realistic. The neighbor boy, who mows the lawn, was "surprised!"
However, as a decoy it was not successful. The words of the ad are, "[it] may help keep unwanted animals and birds away." MAY is the operative word here. The raccoons using my pool were mildly amused. I assume they played with it as I found it had been pushed into the pool. Truthfully, I did not expect much because I had been warned the raccoons were smart and those in residential neighborhoods had probably seen all the usual deterrents before.
NOTE: I did not give stars relating to "Sheerness," "Thickness," or "Warmth." Although, I did consider stars for "Warmth" as he did seem to be friendly with the raccoons.

Did not scare away our swimming pool ducks
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021
The gator is a reasonably good fake, and it seems as advertised, however when we placed it in our West Coast apartment swimming pool, the ducks were unafraid of it. Maybe West Coast ducks aren’t programmed to be afraid of gators? Or maybe they could tell it was fake.

Was looking for a small but real looking gator to keep herons out of my little pond ! Last year they ate all of my fish, I think he will do the trick 👍🏻
