#Burnsteem25 #Club5050 Diary Game 7/11/2022 Visiting a crocodile farm in the Philippines

Who would not scared when we talk about crocodiles, a real, living, and in different sizes and ages. I have seen some of them when I visited India during a mission trip in a conservation center. But it was a long time ago compared to my recent trip in Palawan with my wife where we had visited and have seen different species, ages, and sizes of a crocodile.

For our first day in the city we had a day tour that took only 5 hours. It was a beautiful and clean city which my wife love it so much.

Going back to the crocodiles, yes, we arrived at the farm around 2 pm as it was the first tourist attraction we went to. There we good amount of tourists in that day and according to the log book a lot of them are from Luzon or the Tagalog people. As my wife told me in her observation, she was the only Bisaya in that place during our visit.

When we get to the entrance we have to give our tickets which cost 40 php or 3.3 steem per person. Then the tour guide came to us and give us the background of the center and the history of other known crocodile just like lolong the largest crocodile in captivity. But before the tour guide came we took the opportunity to take photo with Rio one of the largest crocodile in the center. He was also known for devouring a man before he was caught. Rio died few years after that and his skin and bones are displayed in the center.

After the orientation we proceed to the area where the baby crocodiles are taking cared of. There were plenty of them! It was my first time seeing a lot of them in the pond or cage. My wife was so scared and I think other tourists as well thinking that those big lizards would just jump and bite us. Kidding aside but yeah, it's scary but I still managed to take photos of them.

Then we went to see the big ones and they are really big! They are kinda older as well. As I can remember they are feed once a week. I am glad they eat so they won't just be hungry and try to scape to find food outside the center. The center is really taking care of the wildlife inside. I could see workers feeding some of the rescued wildlife and water to drink is freely available in their spot.

It was fun seeing those wildlife aside from the crocodiles. Before we left the center we were given the opportunity to take photos with a baby crocodile. It's mouth was taped to avoid biting and the people in the center are careful enough and assisted us well in handling the tiny one.

Our day spent well for the day tour. Thanks to our driver/tour guide for helping us see the city so well.

I am inviting my wife @georgie84, friends @kyrie1234 @bisayakalog to share your recent adventure.
