I was in a "enjoying nature" mood couple of months back. So after visiting Zhengxin Organic Farm, I was looking out for other "nature vegetation" to visit. If you live in Singapore, and is a avid listener of radio station 95.8 (well my mum is, not me), you would probably have heard waves of publicity on Desaru Fruit Farm. Finally decided to make a day trip up after hearing so much about it.
We were driving along the road to Desaru when we saw a sign on the right that points to a crocodile farm. Out of curiosity, we turn into the side road. After driving for 10-15min along a deserted road through what seemed like a huge palm oil plantation (we also passed by a huge palm processing plant and saw trucks of palm coming straight out of the plantation), following signs set up along the way (and wondering if the crocodile farm exist at all...), we finally arrived at this place
We were sooooo relieved when we finally reached! At least we didn't turn off the main road in vain!
Now the next question is, are there really crocodiles in this place? Well, it says on the signboard at the entrance that they have more than 1000 crocodiles.... We went into the place and were vastly disappointed. The whole place was so empty, even the small shop (souvenir shop??) in front had its shutter pulled down. There were only this roll of crocodile skulls (I think) displayed on a table
Did we traveled all the way here to look that this?! We must have looked really disappointed, cos a kind old man signaled us to what look like water containers by the side of the shop. And we saw this
Baby crocodiles! Aren't they cute haha. And this marks the beginning of an interesting (and most importantly, free) tour of the crocodile farm. We went further in and saw these, just to show a few
A cluster (is that how you group them?) of crocodiles lazing around in their huge pool
This fellow was basking under shade
This crocodile "keeper" deliberately "played" with a pool of huge crocodiles to spice things up a little for us
Now this crocodile is unique. Did you notice his body is almost black? His spikes on his tail look so sharp and piercing, trust me, you wouldn't want to mess with him.
On our way back to the main road, we spotted this
The building of a mega structure! This huge bridge (I don't know where the bridge links and have no idea what the bridge is called) is almost complete, save for the small part in the middle. Call me ignorant, but I have seriously not seen an uncompleted bridge and hence got all excited. If anyone know what the name of this bridge is and where does it connect, please let me know.
