Lapulapu Versus Lolong
I bet you have already heard about this gigantic salt crocodile captured in Bunawan, Agusan del Sur. When I opened Yahoo news today, I saw the photos published about how big the crocodile is. And looking at the photos made me think of Crocolandia's oldest and largest crocodile, Lapulapu. I want to figure out how big Lolong is [the newly captured crocodile's name] and so I have compared it to Lapulapu since I had already seen it personally.
Before comparing the two, allow me to give a thumbs up to the people of Agusan del Sur lead by Municipal Mayor Cox Elorde for doing a good job in hunting down and capturing this huge beast "alive" for the sake of the people in their society. So let's move on then.
A Date At Crocolandia
It was a great Sunday, James and I had a wonderful time at Crocolandia, enjoying the nature and the awesomeness of the wild life inside the place. It was a breather going there, staying away from the buildings and polluted city while breathing in some fresh air was so good! We were super lucky because we witnessed Lapu-lapu ate his dinner.
Crocolandia BTW is located in Biasong, Talisay, it is a 45 minute ride away from Cebu City. From Cebu, we rode a jeepney (Php 8.00 per head) to Talisay market where we took a tricycle (Php 50 special trip) to Crocolandia. Entrance fee was Php 80.00 per adult and Php 40.00 per children age 12 and below but if you come in groups in 25 and above, there's a 20% discount, see it would be better to go there in groups. Anyway, I was amazed when we entered there because it was windy inside, on my right was a big crocodile, I was thinking it was Lapu-lapu but no, it's not lapu-lapu. On my left was a mini park, there were number of children playing. Next to the playground is a canteen so you won't be worried if you haven't brought any food with you, the food inside is affordable. We actually were not able to bring our own so we ended eating there too. I had tuna sandwich for Php 25 and James had his Hotdog sandwich for Php 35. Aside from that, there's also a mini store for souvenirs.
