Borneo Break: At Miri Crocodile Farm

If you are taking a car along the Miri-Kuala Baram coastal road, it will take you about twenty minutes to Miri Crocodile Farm. In Miri, I got to visit a crocodile farm again after a very long break. I had visited one in Bangkok, Thailand many, many years ago and this one in Miri though touted to be the first and largest in Northern Sarawak, is still small and pale in comparison. But if you are in Miri and if you haven't seen a crocodile before, you'd not mind visiting the twenty two acre Miri Crocodile Farm. There were over 1,000 Estuarine Crocodile (Crocodylus Porosus) and Malayan Gharial (Tomistoma Schlegelii) here and since most or in fact all of these crocodiles would be lying motionless in the sun, you'd probably be more attracted to the beautiful sceneries around the area, or perhaps to some of the animals exhibits available here. This afterall is a crocodile farm cum mini zoo and holds some surprises...
