Crocodile Park, a very fun place in Mauritius. All kinds of small crocodiles, especially cute, very cute, and big turtles, you can ride turtles, very fun, viewing and experience are good!
We visited Lavannier Nature Park in October and the park is well maintained. The park's most attractive is the huge Aldabra turtle. We found the insect collection very interesting as well. It is a park worth visiting for children and adults.
The Crocodile Park is in a nature reserve in southern Mauritius. It is said that there are more than 1,000 crocodiles in it. It is quite spectacular. You can see alligators everywhere. There are many elephant turtles. It is the most turtle-like place in addition to the Seychelles. There are many insect museums and the like. You can learn a lot, it is a large ecological animal park.
It is a crocodile park, but the crocodile is really not very good-looking (⊙ o ⊙)! So, those big and small turtles in the park are the real protagonists. It seems to be like a tortoise care home, from the newborn baby tortoise, about 1 year old baby tortoise, 1 to 3 years old tortoise, 3-5 and 5-7 year old baby tortoise, all the way to the grandparent level tortoise ......, etc., all can be seen, but also close contact. Adult tortoises are very large, but generally live only over a hundred years, much shorter than ordinary tortoises. Therefore, it is rare to have such a zero distance, of course, you have to keep patting~\(≧▽≦)/~ In the park, in addition to the crocodile and elephant turtle display areas, there are some other divisions such as golden monkey breeding areas, insect specimen museums, bird areas and other different themes, which are also very good and worth seeing. Even the extinct dodo can see the simulated specimen.
The Crocodile Park is located in a picturesque nature reserve in the southern part of the Mauritius Island. The dense green vegetation of more than 3.5 10,000 square meters extends all the way here, raising 2,000 Nile crocodiles from Madagascar, in addition to viewing, The park also sells crocodile specimens, leather bags, belts and jewelry at the entrance of the park. The fast-food restaurant in the park is said to provide crocodile meat to visitors. The park also houses dozens of wildlife in the southwest Indian Ocean archipelago and nearly 100-year-old elephant turtles.
The most famous crocodile park is the elephant turtle, a lot of numbers, you can sit on it, but it is so lazy, only with food to seduce it, will move, other fruit bats, small dragonflies, crocodiles, etc.
