BELGRADE: Muja has lived through multiple bombing campaigns and several countries - all while never leaving a tiny pool in Belgrade's zoo for 83 years, making him the world's oldest captive alligator.

According to news reports from 1937, Muja was two years old when arrived in Belgrade, a year after the zoo opened.AdvertisementWhile Muja has not seen much outside his shallow and spartan 12m by 7m pool, he survived bombings during World War Two that killed many animals in the zoo, along with six zookeepers.

"The surgery was very difficult, but successful. Muja recovered and adjusted to a new lifestyle," Edvedj said.
