STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Officials at a Swedish zoo said 16 Cuban crocodiles, the rarest breed in the world, were born to crocs once owned by Fidel Castro.
Jonas Wahlstrom, the director of the aquarium at the Skansen Zoo in Stockholm, said the parents had been given by Castro when he was dictator of Cuba to a Russian cosmonaut and later smuggled from Moscow to Sweden in a zookeeper's luggage, The Local.se reported Friday.
"They're the rarest, and I must say, the most beautiful crocodile species in the world," Wahlstrom said.
He said only a few hundred Cuban crocodiles are believed to exist in the wild.
