Berlin WW2 bombing survivor Saturn the alligator dies in Moscow Zoo

Saturn was gifted to Berlin Zoo in 1936 soon after he was born in the US. He escaped the zoo being bombed in 1943. British soldiers found him three years later and gave him to the Soviet Union. How he spent the intervening years always remained a mystery, but since July 1946 the alligator has been a hit with visitors in Moscow.
