The crocodile farm in Port Princess, where field visits have learned that it is far richer than what is literally called the "crocodile farm". Formerly known as the Irawan Crocodile Farming Institute, the center aims to protect and further study endangered crocodile species. The center is a "hospital" for sick and disabled crocodiles and a small zoo for collecting local animals. The animals are fed every Monday and Thursday afternoon. The center is located in Barangay Irawan in (Puerto Princesa), Prinseisa Port, and it takes 30-40 minutes to get to the center by car from the city. Most of the museums are tourists who also participate in the city tour, with their respective guides to bring and explain. For the background knowledge of the Crocodile Hall, specimen introduction, etc., it is really not good without a guide. Inside, a crocodile called LEO, the above is its skin specimen, the following is its skeleton specimen. It is the largest crocodile caught in Palawan, because it was found by villagers after biting off half of a fisherman's body, and died of depression shortly after catching it. Whatever animal, it is more used to living freely. In addition to specimens, there are naturally living animals to see. This indoor area is specially cultivated for small crocodiles, and there are five or six in each pool; visitors can stand by the pool at close range, but their hands cannot reach the cordon. Because although it is a small crocodile, sometimes it will wake up suddenly and jump up, so it is better to look far away. Most of the group left after watching the crocodile hall, maybe everyone's itinerary is written on the crocodile farm, in fact, behind the crocodile hall there is a large Palawan unique wildlife conservation area hidden in the depths of the forest; Not to mention how rare the animal species are, the zoo is built in an environment with such a strong "wild" atmosphere, which is very curious in itself. The entire zoo is such a narrow dirt road, stringing together various animal display points. In fact, if I don't think of it as a zoo visit, I would rather consider it a journey of exploration of the virgin forest. Occasionally, the sun shines directly through the thick trees, and the purest light of nature is shining. During the walk, I smelled the cool herb aroma, guessing how many years the ancient trees around me have experienced. And, never know what miracles will meet next second. . .
