Tuaran Crocodile Farm

The Tuaran Crocodile Farm which was opened back in 2004 is a sanctuary for some 5,000 crocodiles. Among the species of crocodiles kept in the farm are the Buaya Tembaga (Crocodylus Porosus), which can live both in freshwater and saltwater, the Nile Crocodile, the Aqua Crocodile (bisexual crocodile), and the Gharial Crocodile.

The 11-acre large farm also houses a variety of other animals such as two Borneo Anacondas measuring 28 and 20 feet each, the adorable and friendly Binturong bearcats, ostriches, deer, as well as ponds of catfish and koi fish, which are always in anticipation for visitors to feed them. Watch in awe as the performers master the art in controlling and commanding these reptiles.

These shows usually last about 15 minutes each but they are guaranteed to keep you excited throughout the whole show.
