It was summer time here in the Philippines. My family decided to visit my elder sister living in DAVAO City. Davao was the safest city in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. For our first day in Davao we agreed to visit the DAVAO CROCODILE PARK AND ZOE. We would like to do it in the afternoon so the sun is not that hot anymore. From my sister’s house we need to go out and walk for five minutes to reach the bus stop or to the convenience store to get a grab or taxi. While walking to the convenience store, we saw a flock of Pigeons in the gasoline station along the road. I grabbed my camera and took a picture.
We rode grab and we travelled about twenty minutes to reach Davao Crocodile Park and Zoe. We pay 450pesos or about $9 entrance fee. I am glad they give twenty percent discounts to Persons with disability and seniors.
The first animal that we encountered was the Yellow Burmese Python.Ewwww! I am scared of snakes. I don’t want to touch it. My youngest daughter was so brave, she held it and took a picture with the Python.
Second animal was Capybara
Then let's go to the main animal in this zoo which is the different kinds of Crocodiles.
Here we thought there were no crocs but NONONO.. They are just hiding in the water which is now color green because of algae.
NILE CROCDILES lives in muddy waters, mangrove swamps and comouflage to ambush their prey
SALT WATER CROCODILES are the largest reptiles on earth, they also live in wetlands and fresh waters.
Next we saw the turtles that swam in the water.
Now this time we saw for the first time a real Zebra, before we only saw Zebra on television and in books.
Then we have the different Birds.
Next is the largest and heaviest bird on earth reaching 9 feet tall but had undeveloped wings and massive weight yet they cannot fly; rather run fastest was the Ostrich.
We also saw the beautiful butterflies and I found out that butterflies like the red colors. Butterflies mostly landed on people that wore red shirts. My sister and I took a selfie in the butterfly cage.
They only have male peacocks but because there are no females, the male would not show us his beautiful male peacock fans or his train. Male peacock uses his train to attract his mate.
My daughters seemed to turn back into children when they saw the fishes. The fishes have different colors and they looked so wonderful. We bought food for the fish and then our daughters started to feed.
THE Sheep in the ZOO looks lonely maybe because of the limited space . Unlike to the farms where they can play around and run.
My daughters ever since do not saw Bat's ,this is there first time.
The last thing that we saw was the ship that looks like a Crocodile and the big crocodile bone then we proceeded to the park show.
The show was about introducing the different kinds of birds with tricks, snake that is not venomous, more animals and on how the Zoo keepers take care of the animals.
We enjoyed so much our adventure and Quick escape in Davao yet it makes us tired walking around the zoo.
That’s all for now my beloved Hiver’s and wishing you all a happy summer. See you on my next vlog.
