Crocolandia - A Visit With The Crocs

Crocolandia celebrates its 8th year anniversary!
And they're doing a feeding for Lapulapu, the country's second largest crocodile.

First, a peek at the crocodiles' territory...



Yup, you don't want to go home with one hand missing ;)














Now let's meet them all! Just the look of it is unnerving. I can't really distinguish which one's a crocodile and which one's an alligator (like it matters! LOL)

















No, that's not a real croc! LOL













Here's a baby crocodile which I got the chance to touch. It felt like touching a pure leather bag. And it's also kinda cold.













Feeding time for Lapulapu!!!!

Waking up the beast...













There it is!



It kinda looked cute with a lily on it's back :)












This man sure got the balls!















Chewing its food.













How about a second helping? :)













Man! Just look at the size of this monster! A little girl actually cried after this watching this beast.
















He got bored with the spectators watching, so he just went back for another dip in his pond.











Did you know that crocodiles could actually hold their breath underwater for 2 hours? And it also has a "built-in" goggle called Nictitating Membrane that automatically covers the eyes every time the crocodile dives into the water. Pretty cool.








Taking a peek...



Lapulapu's tail.














Crocolandia is not only a home for the crocs but it's also a mini zoo for other wild, not-so-wild, endangered, and not-so-endangered creatures.







Ouch!













Piglet... :P













Deer oh dear!















Indian Star Tortoise; Geochelone elegans:



Sulcata Tortoise
Geochelone sulcata













White-bellied Sea Eagle; Haliaeetus leucogaster



Hedwig :)
Grass Owl; Tyto capensis
















This one sure is creepy!
Common Koel
Eudynamys scolopacea













I forgot what this bird is called but it sure does make weird noises and kinda hyperactive too. It took me a while to take a good picture.















Hope to see them again soon! :)




Till next post you guys!
*muwah!*
