Visit to Miri Crocodile Farm // 鳄鱼园一日游

in #cn-reader7 years ago

During last school holidays, I brought my kids visited to a local crocodile farm and mini zoo in Miri. I've not been there for more than 20 years.
掐指一算,大概20年没到这鳄鱼园了。好不容易称假期带孩子们出门玩玩,结果去逛鳄鱼园还是半强迫的。他们最喜欢泡公寓内的游泳池了。

Where is the location of the farm?

It's located at southern part of Sarawak, a city below Brunei, named Miri. It's more than 400km from my place. I've driven more than 8 hours. Different from indicated on Google map due to poor road conditions (as state road under upgrade).
这是一个位于北砂拉越的一个城市,美里。也是最邻近汶莱的城市。距离我居住的小镇超过400公里。我开了超过8个小时的车,载一家大小出门度假。路况非常糟糕,因为道路提升工程正在如火如荼的进行着。期望着,这里的第一条高速大道的完成。幸运的是,我回来以后频繁的雨季才开始来临。

It started operation in 1998, now with fully established area of 22 acres. They kept and breed crocodiles. There have been more than 1,000 saltwater crocodiles (Estuarine Crocodile) and freshwater crocodiles (Malayan Gharial). They have other animals such as snakes, peacocks, horses, deers, monkeys, hornbills and so on. But the most attractive still crocodiles.
鳄鱼园由1998年开始运作,如今面积为22 英亩. 他们除了进行鳄鱼养殖,也饲养其他野生动物。他们曾经养了超过千只咸水鳄和淡水鳄。

A huge skull of a 6 meters long saltwater crocodile which was hunted early 1980's. It was an aggressive crocodile which attacked villagers living beside Bakong River.
这是一只6米巨鳄的头骨。在八十年代初期被猎杀,因为它的凶残严重影响巴贡河一带长屋居民的日常生活。

The largest crocodile in the farm

I stood beside the cement pool which depth not more than 5 meters. It is HUGE. The bronze coins on it's back is 22mm in diameter. I think it can simply reach it's mouth out there.
这是该鳄鱼园最大的鳄鱼。我站在离它高度不超过5米的围墙上。他背后金色铜币的直径是22毫米。可以想象它的巨大。我相信如果它抓狂,绝对可以翻墙而出。

Other animals

I didn't take too much other animals photos as they are quite common. I took this hornbill because it's a kind of specific bird locally. Sometimes I can see them fly across the road. Hope they can live good here forever.
