EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and offbeat holiday scene, Mexican biologist Arturo Cross takes on the role of Santa Claus as he dives into a pool filled with gars at the Guadalajara Zoo Aquarium in Mexico. The photograph captures the unique Christmas tradition offered by the zoo during the festive season. Dressed in a fancy Santa suit, complete with a red hat and white beard, Cross fearlessly swims alongside these fascinating fish from the Lepisosteidae family. With their long snouts and armored bodies, gars are known for their prehistoric appearance and can grow up to several feet in length. The image showcases an unexpected blend of Christmas cheer and aquatic wonder. As Cross spreads joy beneath the water's surface, visitors to the aquarium are treated to an extraordinary sight that combines holiday spirit with nature's beauty. Photographed by Hector Guerrero for Agence France-Presse (AFP), this moment reminds us that celebrations can take many forms around the world. Whether it be through traditional customs or innovative displays like this one, cultures find creative ways to embrace festivities while honoring their local heritage. This print serves as a delightful reminder of how even underwater creatures can become part of our seasonal traditions – making it truly unforgettable.
