Set amidst the charming backdrop of tall tropical trees, lush vegetation and local fruit trees lies this unique farm with over a thousand crocodiles bred in captivity. The farm provides a perfect sanctuary for the reptiles, saving the species from extinction. There are huge and deep concrete ponds and natural breeding grounds for the crocodiles to mate and multiply. Visitors are able to gaze at the snapping jaws, cold menacing eyes, sharp pointed teeth and powerful lashing tails of the crocs within short distance yet safe because of the metal fence. Apart from crocodiles there are also numerous rare species of birds and animals found only in the Borneo Island. Visitors can have the enchanting experience of walking freely among the monkeys, leopard-cats, sunbears, bearcats, pheasants, civets, barking deers, sambar deers, turtles, fruit bats, monitor lizards, pythons and even hombills. This privately-owned farm is the biggest in Malaysia and is situated about 30 Km south of Kuching. About 2,000 of these reptiles are bred here and well-kept behind enclosures. Around the farm, various wild animals from our very own forest are also caged for public viewing, namely; the rhinoceros honebill, peacock, the long-tailed macaque, python, samba Deer, bearded Wild Boar, sun bear and monitor lizard. Highlight of the visit is to witness the ferocity of this reptile during their twice daily feeding time. JONG'S CROCODILE FARM SIBURAN 29km (18.5 Mile) Kuching-Serian Highway P. 0. Box 670 KUCHING.
