Croc anyone??

We took some of the Elders and Sister Missionaries and went on an adventure to the Madagascar Croc Farm. We fit 8 missionaries in the back of the truck,
Plus Dar and Abc

CROC FARM, 5 minutes from Ivato airport, 

is the most famous  reptile company, specializing in the breeding of crocodiles and export of skins. With other animals that we saw are lemurs, frogs, snakes, fosa and don't forget the restaurant serving  tasty crocodile meat.

The feeding takes place in ponds. This is where the selection is made according to the criteria of good growth and morphology. Every two years, they proceed to the establishment of a breeding herd.

These are baby Crocs

look at all those baby!

They spend 2 years on the baby pond, before headed off to the Adult pond

Crocodiles at the CROC FARM feed primarily on animal protein, which for the manager translates into weekly Purchase 24 tons of fish, zebu meat and poultry! The animals become accustomed to their trainers and show no aggression towards them provided that you are moving slowly with their habits. There is for example no way to change the color combinations or change mealtimes.

this is a Fosa, they move quick and it was hard to get a good pic.

We were able to feed them, dead baby chickens.

$5 for Non Native, and $2.50 for Native
