We're always at the mall at Sundays (you would know that if you've read my blog for some time now) and
para maiba naman, we decided to visit a new place, something educational
naman. For a change, we decided to visit
Davao Crocodile Park. Woot!
The
Crocodile Park is one of Davao City's "zoological" attractions
. However, among all of us, only my younger sister has been there recently (through Assumption's field trips).
Ako naman, the last time I have been there was... 2001? That was 12 years ago. Woah. Both of my parents haven't been there
at all, which is why they were very persistent to visit.
So last Sunday, we finally pursued the plan. Here are
some of the photos we took (We actually took more than 150 photos! Don't worry; I just chose a few):
 |
| Davao Crocodile Park |
 |
| We arrived just in time for a bird show! And we didn't even know it! Lucky! |
 |
| Here's one of the kuyas, showing off the cockatoo |
After the bird show, they called for a female volunteer among the audience. Good thing I was holding Y while taking photos; I will never volunteer! Meanwhile, ate here was volunteered by her companions (hehe). She was asked to close her eyes (eek!) and guess the animal.
She started freaking out even before the animal was brought out. Kung ako rin naman, no! Then, another kuya brought an albino python. After feeling it, ate jumped all over na. Ako rin, no!
|
| ZOMG! |
 |
| Eek! |
After the show, we toured
na around the zoo. The first thing we visited was
Pangil, Crocodile Park's resident crocodile. I already met
Pangil more than 10 years ago (huhu!) and he wasn't that large yet. Now, he's grown bigger. Not nearly as big as
Lolong was, but still big enough.
 |
| Sorry for the poor photo; he was underwater. |
 |
| Hello there, little cockatoo! |
There was a bridge over a swamp full of crocodiles. My father has never seen a live crocodile in his life, so we went there next.
 |
| Here's the bridge. |
 |
| Crocodiles on your right |
 |
| And crocodiles on your left |
 |
| And yes, more crocodiles |
 |
| Fambam picture without me! |
 |
| Mama requested for a solo hehe |
We went down afterward and saw children coming to a part of the zoo with animal statues.
Gora!
 |
| Someone's not happy! |
 |
| Yuri kept looking at the elephant's big nose. :P |
 |
| Finally! Our only decent photo there! |
 |
| Ssshhh! |
We moved on to the next spot: the ostrich farm!
 |
| Hello there! They're so big! |
We saw a lot of another animals: bats, deer, birds, snakes, turtles, iguanas, monkeys, etc. But my most favorite animal is this:
 |
| Orangutan! |
 |
| Awwww, doesn't he (or she?) look like a baby? |
 |
| I'm seriously SMITTEN with the orangutan; I want to take it home! |
On the way to SM:
Me: Ang cute, cute, cute talaga nung orangutan!
Papa: Isipin mo na pinapakain sya sa crocodiles.
Me: Bad!
Mama: Isa lang ang orangutan nila, no?
Me: Oo. Lonely sya. :-(
Mama: Samahan mo kaya?
Okaaaay fine! Samahan na kung samahan. CHOS!
