Jong's Crocodile Farm and Zoo, Crocodile farm and zoo in Siburan, Malaysia.
Jong's Crocodile Farm and Zoo is a wildlife facility in Siburan that houses separate enclosures for crocodiles, bears, monitor lizards, eagles, deer, and many other animal species. The site is spread across a large area with sections dedicated to different types of wildlife.
The facility began when Yong Kian Sen started collecting crocodiles in 1963, which eventually led to the official opening of the farm in 1979. These early efforts established what became the current breeding and education center.
The on-site museum displays the skull of Bujang Senang, a crocodile that holds significance in Sarawak's regional stories and folklore. Visitors can learn about the local meaning this animal has for the region.
The farm is located on the Serian Highway about 30 km from Kuching and is easily accessible by car. Daily feeding demonstrations provide good opportunities to watch animals active and engaged.
The facility is one of seven registered crocodile farms in Malaysia and focuses particularly on breeding programs for the rare Tomistoma crocodiles. This specialized breeding work makes the establishment important for conservation efforts in the region.
