I am scared of almost every animal, excluding dogs, cats, birds, hamsters and.....I don't know, that probably ends the list.
Now, I faced one of my greatest fears in Crocolandia -a mini-zoo/park located in Biasong, Talisay City last 2012. The zoo houses different faunas and is famous for its six-meter long saltwater crocodile, Lapu- Lapu who was pretty shy 'cause he kept hiding from us.

I ended up there because of a friend's friend who invited me to come with them in Crocolandia and since I have never been there before, of course, I took the opportunity to spice up my summer visiting a different place and a different world.
From Gaisano Tabunok, we took a motorcycle to Lawaan beach and moved to a tricycle to reach our destination.

It didn't take us long to reach the zoo but it was a costly trip for us, as we didn't board any private cab, rather just took public vehicles to get to the zoo.
There, we paid the entrance fee for adults which is P100.00. As for children below 11 years old, they just need to pay P50.00 . Groups consist of 25 can avail of the 20% discount for the entry fee.
We went there on a weekend so there were only a few visitors. So when we entered its gates, we hastily followed the path to see the crocodiles. Unfortunately, there were no guides to tell us information about crocodiles and stuffs (Here's a picture of one of its small crocies though)
So just ahead of a pond is a mini-museum for preserved animal remains. From there, you could go out in the other door where more animals can be found. You can see differently colored snakes up close and more others.
Crocolandia has a canteen and has this mini-playground for kids too. (see picture below)

Basing on the pics, they seemed to have lesser crocs in there. :D Anyway, do they have those types as wild as those in the tv series Swamp People? And do they demonstrate how to deal with crocodiles? Thanks.
If my memory serves me right, they house four or more crocodiles. Naah, they don't have those types but you should visit and check out Lapu-lapu, the biggest crocodile they have.
When we visited the place, there were no guides who went with us but I believe they would accommodate groups that go there for educational trips and all.
