Introduction

By chance, Yin Chi-Tung acquired precious crocodile eggs through the Agricultural Mission. Although the eggs hatched with difficulty, his ultimate success led him to take an interest in raising crocodiles. In the process, he found that every part of a crocodile can be used. Certain waste that is hard to disposed of, such as pig placentas and embryonic membranes, serves as good feed for crocodiles. Pollution problems are solved by the food chain. Winning the National Top 10 Outstanding Rural Youth Award, he went abroad to learn how to design a crocodile delivery room. Finally, he successfully bred crocodiles. At its prime, the Farm had more than a thousand crocodiles, including caiman, false gharials, Nile crocodiles, saltwater crocodiles and New Guinea crocodiles.

On average, a crocodile can live for more than 70 years. The oldest crocodile on the Ranch is currently more than 40 years old. Yin Chi-Tung recalls his experience raising crocodiles. At first, he failed to breed crocodiles very often. Later, a lot of interesting things happened. For example, tail-less crocodiles were born during the 921 Earthquake. Because of his rich experience in raising crocodiles, he was hired by the Fire Bureau of Pingtung County Government as an instructor to teach the firefighters how to catch crocodiles.

To maintain biodiversity in the Farm, the owner also began raising goats, boars, rabbits, guinea pigs, bullfrogs, chickens, geese, turtles, snapping turtles, etc., mostly semi-open, so that children can closely interact with the animals. The Farm also features a crocodile area, crocodile eco-system display area, firefly restoration pond, leisure area, DIY area, and more.

Instead of pure viewing the one and only crocodile zoological farm attaches great importance to the breeding of crocodiles. It aims to provide a good habitat for crocodile living. Now there are estuarine crocodiles, caiman crocodile, and the Nile in the farm.
