Well what a life for a gator. Born in the US of A under FDR, given to the Berlin zoo before the war. Survived the bombings that destroyed the zoo in 1943, found by the Brits a couple of years later and given to the Russians who sent him to the Moscow zoo.

Saturn passed away.

That beast had a more interesting life memories than most of us!
