My Langkawi Trip To The Fun And Educational Crocodile Adventureland Langkawi

My family and I visited Langkawi recently and I would like to share about my trip there. It was a short 2 days 1 night trip where we stayed at Resorts World Langkawi. We flew there by Air Asia because it was the cheapest ticket price. Even though we could not get the cheapest promotional fare, we paid about RM 200 per person. We rented a small car at the airport for RM 60 / day and started our exciting journey.

Our first stop was Crocodile Adventureland Langkawi which is the largest crocodile farm in Malaysia according to the Malaysia Book Of Record. My family learnt a lot here after our guided tour. If you come here, make sure you check their crocodile show time, feeding time and jumping time. These are the activities you should not miss.

The first thing we did here was feed the crocodiles with a piece of tasty chicken. We were asked to hold on tight to the rod and could see the crocodiles jumping high to snap the meat. Here's a video of me feeding the crocodiles. I could feel the weight of the crocodile as I pulled up the rod when the meat was in its mouth. Each of us fed the crocodiles and it was an unforgettable experience.

After having the chance to feed the crocodiles, it was crocodile feeding time at the Bridge Pond area where the crocodiles were hand fed.

We learnt that crocodiles open their mouth to control the temperature and remove heat, female crocodiles need 3 months to get pregnant and another 3 months to hatch their eggs. They lay between 30-60 eggs and only half can survive. Some were born handicapped and usually die if they are in the wild because crocodiles fight among themselves for food, territory and for female crocodiles to mate. Crocodiles can grow up to 7 meters in length and live up to 100 years. Crocodiles can hold their breath in water for 2 hours and can swim at 30km/hour. The difference between male and female crocodiles is the wider & rounder snout for males and narrower & more pointed snout for females. Wow, that's a lot we learnt in a day! This place is very educational for children and adults because we learnt and experienced so much here. 

Some of the crocodiles were born handicapped are kept separately for their survival. These are the 2 handicapped crocodiles here.

We also learnt the difference between alligator and crocodiles. When an alligator closes its mouth, you can see teeth only from the upper jaw. When the crocodiles closes its mouth, you can see teeth on both the upper and lower jaws.

'Buaya Jejulung' are fresh water crocodiles from Sabah and Sarawak which are nearly extinct. These crocodiles have 76-84 teeth and has a long snout. Other crocodiles have 66 teeth instead.

The best part that my family would never forget is our experience holding a small crocodile in our hands and taking memorable photos with it. There are photographers there to snap photos and print them out for you.

When you visit Crocodile Adventureland Langkawi, make sure you watch the breath-taking show at 11.15am,  2.45pm.  My heart was pumping fast when I saw a man put his hand into the crocodile's mouth for 10 seconds. He also kissed the crocodile.

This was the first time my children watched a live crocodile show and we enjoyed it very much. For more information on Crocodile Adventureland Langkawi, you can visit their FACEBOOK or WEBSITE.
