Cuban Crocodile

The Cuban Crocodile exhibit at this Richmond West wildlife attraction highlights one of the world's most endangered crocodilians — a species endemic to Cuba whose wild population has been reduced to critically low numbers. The Cuban Crocodile is smaller and more agile than many other crocodilian species, known among researchers for a higher-than-usual level of intelligence and terrestrial mobility. For visitors interested in reptiles or conservation, this is an exhibit with particular significance. Seeing a Cuban Crocodile in a managed setting is a rare opportunity, and the species' connection to Cuba adds a dimension of regional significance for Miami's large Cuban-American community and visitors from the island.
