Crocodile and Reptile Park
January 29th, 2006
The Crocodile and Reptile Park Melaka (also known as Crocodile Farm Ayer Keroh) is another interesting animal kingdom in Melaka, situated directly opposite the Zoo Melaka. While Zoo Melaka is featuring various wildlife species, the Crocodile and Reptile Park is focusing its captive breeding and conservation on the fearsome ancient giant reptile – crocodile.
The Crocodile and Reptile Park Melaka established in 1987 is sprawling an area of 3.2 hectare, to house more than 200 crocodiles of various species from all over the world including the Siamese, African Dwarf, Indian Marsh/Mugger, Humpback, Albino, Tailless and many more. Some of the crocodiles hunted at other places within Malaysia are also brought into this farm.
The farm is specially landscaped to recreate the crocodiles’ natural environment. The log-like predator tends to congregate in slow-moving rivers and lakes, and feed on a wide variety of living and dead mammals and fish. Despite the fact that crocodile is extremely dangerous to humans, you could have an educational day at Crocodile and Reptile Park with your children without the painful risk. Exciting performances by the trained keepers and their crocodiles are held every Saturday.
If you are visiting Crocodile and Reptile Park, you might consider planning a 1-day-zoology-trip at Ayer Keroh, by stopping over the Zoo Melaka, as well as Butterfly and Reptile Sanctuary.

Nurul Syuhada & Mohd Taufik Sapawi:
Could you please kindly refer to the Crocodile and Reptile Park Melaka for relevant research information?
This site is dedicated to publish tourism-related information about Melaka, but our apology, we’re not the domain expert in zoological study. Please refer to relevant party.
Thanks
