EDITORS COMMENTS
. Say cheese! These Cuban crocodiles are not camera shy as they show off their toothy grins on Fidel Castro's crocodile farm. Started in the 1960s, this unique initiative aimed to save the critically endangered species, Crocodylus rhombifer. Located in Cienaga de Zapata National Park, Cuba, this farm became a safe haven for these magnificent reptiles. With their captivating gaze and scaly beauty, these crocs stole the hearts of visitors from all over the world. Considered one of the Caribbean's biodiversity hotspots, Cuba took conservation seriously by implementing captive breeding and species recovery programs. This print captures a moment frozen in time when efforts were made to protect these threatened creatures. The lush freshwater reserve provided an ideal habitat for these majestic creatures to thrive under careful protection. As ambassadors of wildlife conservation, they remind us of our responsibility to preserve nature's wonders. With their presence symbolizing hope and resilience, let us cherish every opportunity to learn from them and safeguard our planet's incredible biodiversity. So next time you come across a Cuban crocodile photograph like this one by Shane Gross from Nature Picture Library - remember that it represents more than just an image; it tells a story of dedication towards saving endangered species and protecting our natural treasures!
