May 12, 2010 (PRLEAP.COM) Travel News
AsiaRooms.com divulges not many people will get close to a crocodile during their lifetime but those staying in hotels in Langkawi can do so by visiting one of the biggest attractions in the region.

The Langkawi Crocodile Farm is home to more than 1,000 of the creatures, including some rare and endangered species.

The park is made up of several different ponds, which are the periodical, breeding, bridge, feeding, jumping and show ponds.

At each, visitors can learn more about the lives of crocodiles.

The show pond will be lots of fun for those travelling with kids, as they can see these magnificent creatures perform all manner of different tasks and stunts.

Another highlight is the feeding pond, where visitors can see the crocodiles eating and observe the etiquette that they adopt, with sessions beginning at around 11:00 local time.

The thing those staying in hotels in Langkawi are most likely to remember however, is the man vs crocodile wrestling match.

Taking place at 14:30 local time, visitors will be amazed at some of the perilous situations the brave wrestler puts himself in.

Another must-see at Langkawi Crocodile Farm is Bujang Kawi, the oldest living crocodile to be born without any teeth, which weighs more than 1,000 pounds.
