A young Cuban found a small crocodile in a sewer in the La Lisa municipality, in Havana.
Although it is not clear how the man managed to see the animal in the drain, a video circulating on Facebook It shows the moment when he goes into the sewer to pull it out with his own hands.
It was about a little crocodile which was immediately photographed by those present.
In the audio, a woman is heard saying: "Don't give it to anyone, keep it."
It is unknown how the small reptile got to the sewer, two rivers cross the area, El Jaimanitas and Quibú.
The island of Cuba is home to a wide variety of endemic species, but among them, the Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer) stands out not only for its imposing presence, but also for its unique characteristics that differentiate it from other crocodiles in the world.
This reptile, which rarely exceeds 3.5 meters in length, has evolved in a way that has led it to be more terrestrial compared to its aquatic counterparts. Its longer legs and short, wide snout are testament to this adaptation.
The Cuban crocodile is also considered the most intelligent of the animals of its species.
