Cuban Crocodile in Natural Habitat

A critically endangered Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer) in a cenote in Zapata National Park, Cuba. The species is down to less than 4000 individuals. A breeding program started by Castro is helping, but interbreeding with the American crocodile is rampant and may spell the end for the Cuban crocodile.
