Greetings !
Last night, I looked through my folder from my old laptop and seen few pictures of me while I was working at Tuaran Crocodile Farm. It's good to reminisce our past working experience and I think is is okay because this experience make us to be more grateful and simply teach us to be resilient thus, learn a bit more about working life in different environment.
I started as an intern at Tuaran Crocodile Farm when I was a practical student back in 2014. My friend and I did the water quality for every ponds in the farm. After completed internship, they recruited me as a staff under animal keeper department. I accepted the offer without hesitation. Although I knew that working in the crocodile farm definitely dangerous especially in animal keeper department. But, I have to work for the sake of experiences and money of course 馃槒
Tuaran Crocodile Farm is located along the Sulaman Highway, Tuaran. This crocodile farm was opened in 2004. Among the types of crocodiles kept there are the Aqua Corcodile, Gharial Crocodile, Nile Crocodile and Buaya Tembaga.

I would like to share few pictures to you guys, adorable animals that found in Crocodile Farm. Not only they have crocodiles there, but also other animals like ostrich, turtle, rabbits, monkey, civet cat etc. Besides watching hundred of crocodile, there are also crocodile show, cultural show and mini zoo in the farm.
The ostrich usually happy to see people as it tries to come close to them; as if requesting for attention.
"Why run away, come to me"
Giant Asian pond turtle. I carried it and lasted for few seconds only.
Adorable rabbits need attention. In fact, they only approached me when I have their food.
I didn't get close to the hedgehog actually. This one spiky creature always freak me out.
It was feeding time which displayed the aggressiveness o the crocodiles as they muscled their ways to get close to the worker who fed them.
Cultural performance add the attraction to the visitors.
Crocodile eggs for sale.
The most special thing about crocodile eggs is that it does not contain egg yolk. Eating crocodile egg can lower cholesterol in human blood, enhance the function of memory and prevention of Alzheimer's psychosis.
