Muja, the world's oldest captive alligator, turns 83 in Belgrade having survived through several bombing campaigns in the country

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

"He's an older gentleman and we respect his age," Jozef Edvedj, the zoo's veterinarian, told with a smile after handlers helped guide a dead rat to the jaws of the slow-moving reptile. Muja is still in "good health for his age", and the only time the veterinarians were seriously concerned was in 2012, when he had to have a right claw amputated due to gangrene.

Due to his advanced age, Muja doesn't move much but becomes snappy during feeding time, which comes only once or twice a month.
