Comments

Krokodyl kubański był bardzo powszechny we wszystkich kubańskich rzekach i jeziorach, ale obecnie ze względu na malejącą populację jest hodowany w Cienaga de Zapata. Farma krokodyli znajdująca się w tym miejscu jest bardzo popularnym miejscem turystycznym, którego dochody pomagają w utrzymaniu i zwiększeniu działalności farmy.
