Jiang Taigong’s Fishing (with Crocodiles):
This is the most exciting thing in this Crocodile Park. You can do the crocodile fishing using some chicken. It is not the real fishing of course, just playing with the crocodiles. But you can see hundreds of crocodiles in the lake, attracted by your chicken. This can be an unforgetable experience for you. (cost 10 rmb for one time)
Life of a Crocodile:
Do you know that a crocodile’s gender depends on temperature? Crocodile eggs incubated at 28-30 C produce mostly females whereas eggs incubated at 32-34 C produce mostly males.The whole Crocodile Park is in effect a “Crocodile Town” built according to crocodiles’ different ages, body forms and uses. Among all the high-class flats, there are flats for the single, palace-like flats and flats which are warm in winter and cool in summer. The complete course of life of crocodiles-incubation, growing and breeding-will be fully presented. If you are lucky, you can even witness the hatching out of crocodile babies in the incubation room.
