Cuba’s biggest crocodiles can be found at the Lanier Swamp, the third largest swamp in the country, which covers an area of over 50 square miles. Species there reach 4 meters in length, according to local workers.
In the south of Isla de la Juventud, where the swamp is located, a dozen workers take turns to watch over the breeding farm kept by the Flora y Fauna Company. It’s a dangerous job, since it’s not uncommon for crocodiles to escape, and the workers have to fetch them from the muddy mangrove forests.
