We must have come across the idiom "shred crocodile tears". But how much do we know about crocodiles? Visit Teluk Sengat Crocodile Farm to learn more about the reptiles.
I was inspired by the life story of the owner. A granddaughter who is willing to put everything behind and take over the crocodile farm from her grandfather. She braved through tough challenges and brought the farm towards the direction of tourism.
Through the tour, we learned about anatomy structure of crocodiles and some facts about them. Crocodiles do cry genuinely. They shred tears when they get chocked on chickens that are too large for them or they lost a fellow comrade in crocs fights. The mother crocodile cries when her eggs were taken away from her.

Eating crocodile egg can lower cholesterol in human blood, enhance the function of memory and prevention of Alzheimer's psychosis. Crocodile meat is known to cure asthma and coughing problems.

Teluk Sengat Crocodile Farm is a great place for family outings. The kids can get a chance to touch a baby crocodile and learn more about the reptiles. Plus, we get to have some crocodile delicacy.
