EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible resilience and longevity of Muja, the oldest American alligator in captivity. In this image, taken by photographer Marko Djurica at Belgrade Zoo in Serbia on August 14,2018, we see Muja peacefully residing in his enclosure. The majestic reptile's weathered skin tells a story of survival as he has endured numerous hardships throughout his remarkable life. Muja was transported to Belgrade from Germany back in 1937, just a year after the zoo's opening. Since then, he has defied the odds by surviving three bombings during World War II and persevering through all the challenges faced by the zoo over the years. This resilient creature is truly an embodiment of strength and endurance. The close-up shot beautifully captures every detail of Muja's scaly exterior while highlighting his sharp teeth that make him an apex predator in his natural habitat. Submerged underwater with only its snout visible above water level, Muja exudes both danger and beauty simultaneously. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring photograph, we are reminded of nature's ability to withstand adversity and adapt to changing environments. Muja serves as a living testament to resilience and reminds us that even amidst chaos and destruction, there is still room for beauty and wonderment.
