A Bengal Tiger that we saw during DS’s educational field trip. His sharp teeth showing and growling noise keeps the kids off away from him. Despite being in a cage makes him scary still to approach. I can only zoom the lenses and can’t get a decent photo of him. lol!

The hungry looking crocodiles that we visited during DS’ educational field trip. From afar, they just seem like a statue as they look hard and don’t move at all. We were really scared upon seeing them move their way when it’s eating time.

I just couldn’t imagine the scene if somebody falls on those hungry crocs while watching them being fed . lol! Oh well, me and my wild imagination. :D
