SAMUTPRAKARN CROCODILE FARM AND ZOO




Description

Essentials about the Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo in brief

Crocodile fans got their money’s worth at the Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo. The world’s largest crocodile farm reportedly had over 100,000 of the fearsome reptiles waiting for visitors. The park operators also claimed to keep the largest crocodile in captivity.

The attractions of the Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo

Anyway, the main attraction of the park were the daily crocodile shows, where keepers performed tricks that are not necessarily recommended to imitate (such as sticking arms and heads into the mouths of crocodiles). There was also a lot of interest in the area of “disabled” crocodiles. Here you could see albino alligators and reptiles with two heads, two tails and six legs.

If crocodiles alone were too boring for you, you also found elephants, lions, tigers, hippos, monkeys and many other animals at the Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo. You could even ride elephants, take a spin on a paddle boat or visit a dinosaur museum.

The closure of the Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo

Why is this text written in the past tense? Because the Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo closed its doors forever in the wake of the Corona Pandemic of 2020. In the course of animal welfare, this was probably a good decision.
