Upon entrance, you will instantly notice the skin of a big crocodile displayed on the wall. How big it must be when it was still alive!!

Okay, maybe some of you are thinking of bags (perhaps a Birkin) right now made from crocodiles. We'll apparently that big skin is not an appropriate material for bag making since they are a bit hard. Apparently, those bags are made out of the skin of the baby crocodiles,

There are many of these boxes around the center. These baby crocodiles are group together by age (number of days they've been hatched from the egg). Don't display or put your hands over these baby crocodiles because they love to jump.

Moving past we reached the den of the bigger crocodiles. We were on a bridge above them. I checked out my grandma's shoes with a crocodile below.

I remembered that my grandma is very nervous walking at this bridge. She's afraid the bigger crocodiles would jump and pull people from above. Apparently, the much bigger ones are kept out of visitors. I've learned that they are the aggressive ones too. Yikes!

There are other animals inside the center to see too. Here are me and granda posing with the hanging plants in the background.

Outside of the center, there are stalls in which you are served with crocodile meat and some souvenirs. We took the opportunity to take a photo with a baby crocodile. Don't worry the mouth is sealed so it's safe.
