Brief History of Crocodile Park:

The fascination of Mr. Philip Dizon to salt water and fresh water crocodile leads to a business not until 10 years after going to United States, he learned that crocodiles are not only for public viewing but also for the production of leather business. It was on November 1995, when Dizon received the permit and the accreditation from the government to operate. With the help of Dr. Gilbert Buenviaje as a consultant, the first Crocodile Park in Davao was open on August 18, 2006.

What to expect at the Park?

The ever famous ‘Pangil’ which is the oldest crocodile in the park, for more than 60 yrs. old now, and the largest one which stands 18 feet long. It has its own big cage and pond exclusively for him to swim along, which attract visitors and crowd.

The park comes with different sizes of crocs from lizard type to the biggest one, they have nursery for the baby crocodiles too and every kinds and sizes that you could imagine, they have feeding time for crocs which allows the visitors too. There are also the presence of other exotic animal species like raptors, monkeys, bear cats, snakes, birds, tigers and lots of species of animals will be found, and it’s all in this big park for every families and friends for them to enjoy!

for a fun start they have bird shows for kids and for everyone with a kid at heart.

crocodile dancing- this would show the leaping strategy of the crocodile to eat the meat while doing so, the crocodile is making it up like dancing when he tries to reach the meat through his mighty tail. Salt water crocs could leap up until 6 feet high.

Butterfly house- Who can’t love butterflies? they are beautifully combined with its colorful wings and quiet in nature that would attract people of all ages. Know where and how they originate from egg, larva, pupa till adult.

Take a little stroll around under the tall bamboo trees and feel the coldness of the air while hearing the sound of the river and take a picture with their real IP’s hand made houses attached with names and descriptions for you to know and an IP statue outside every houses.

Crocodiles are such fascinating creatures. I’ve seen them many times in Australia but didn’t know you have them in the Philipines.
