Jong's Crocodile Farm

Jong’s Crocodile Farm

A few weeks ago, the Sunday School of St. Thomas and their teachers went on an exciting trip to Jong’s Crocodile Farm. It all started at the church. We ascended into two buses and it was an interesting journey, or song and chit-chat, until we finally reached the Crocodile farm.

We went through the main part of the exhibition of animals. A lot of different animals were displayed from the cutest baby turtles to the most ferocious of sunbears. The sunbears looked cute and cuddly, but put inside the same ring and anyone would be running for their life. Their teeth were white and sharp, perfect for munching on their prey.

The crocodiles were the main attraction of this place. There were many kinds, from tail-less crocodiles to crocodiles that were about 2 and a half metres long. We rushed over to the display area at 11am for the crocodile feeding. A bell was rung and the crocodiles had their mouths watering and open wide for their lunch, meat.

As the meat was rolled out into the centre of one of the enclosed areas for the crocodiles to feed upon. It was a fight of the fittest, to see which crocodile could jump and snap up the raw meat with their gigantic jaws. The other crocs were hungry and tried to fight for the meat, but came away with nothing. It was very exciting, yet scary too.

Lastly, we took some photographs and had a lot of fun, before reboarding the buses and making our way to our lunch, McDonaldsTM. We ended the day with a delicious meal at McDonaldsTM, where we had laughs and made our way home, with a smile instilled on our face, from the lovely day out.
