3. That’s a Croc
Have you ever heard Cuba being referred to in Spanish as “El Cocodrilo” or “El Caimá“? That’s because a bird’s eye view of the island’s shape resembles a crocodile. Speaking of crocs, there is a native species of leaping Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer) found only in Cuba’s Zapata Swamp and the Isle of Youth. It’s a small, intelligent, aggressive species and is highly endangered.
