Snap Happy at Tuaran Crocodile Farm: Jaws-Dropping Fun! 🐊📸

#kotakinabalutrip Okay, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from **Tuaran Crocodile Farm**—would it be scary? Smelly? A total tourist trap? Turns out, it’s all three… in the BEST way possible! Here’s why this place is equal parts terrifying and Instagram gold. ### **First Impressions: "Wait, How Many Crocs?!"** - **The smell:** Like a fish market mixed with sunscreen (you get used to it… kinda) - **The sound:** Hissing, splashing, and the occasional *chomp* that made me jump - **The vibe:** Jurassic Park if it was run by your slightly crazy uncle ### **The "Oh Snap" Moment: Feeding Time!** Watching the staff dangle chicken over the water had me SHOOK. Those crocs can **launch** like torpedoes! Pro tip: Stand back unless you want swamp water on your shoes (RIP my white sneakers). ### **Hidden Gem: The Baby Croc Nursery** Tiny dinosaurs! Dozens of itty-bitty crocs just chillin’—way cuter than they should be. You can even **hold one** (if you’re brave enough to ignore the teeth). ### **Funny Fail: The Great Escape (Attempt)** One medium-sized croc tried to climb the fence during our visit. Cue everyone screaming while the staff just sighed and poked it with a stick. "Happens every Tuesday," they said. 😂 ### **Must-Try Snack: Croc Satay** Yep, you read that right! The on-site cafe serves **grilled crocodile meat**—tastes like chicken but way more badass to say you’ve eaten. ### **Quick Itinerary for Maximum Croc-ness** 🕙 **10AM** Arrive (before the midday heat) 🕚 **11AM** Watch feeding frenzy (bring your camera!) 🕛 **12PM** Brave the baby croc photo op 🕜 **1PM** Try croc satay (for the ‘gram) 🕑 **2PM** Visit the turtle pond to decompress ### **Survival Tips:** - Wear **closed-toe shoes** (this isn’t flip-flop territory) - Bring **hand sanitizer** (you’ll want it after touching anything) - Keep your **phone/camera ready**—action happens fast! **Final Verdict:** 8/10 would recommend for the adrenaline rush alone. Lost points for the smell but gained them back for the baby croc selfies. **Who’s been? Did you try the croc meat? Tell me your stories below! 👇** *(P.S. No crocs were harmed in the making of this blog post… but my dignity might’ve been when I screamed at the feeding show.)* 😅
