Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center was formerly known as the Crocodile Farm and Nature Park. It serves as the sanctuary of the Philippine Crocodile that is endemic to the country. The Philippine Crocodile is currently included in the endangered species list and the conservation center is making ways to increase the number of the species. Aside from crocodiles, the center takes care of other animals like ostriches and endemic to the island of Palawan like the bearcat. – Text From: http://www.philippinestravelwiki.com/palawan/puerto-princesa/palawan-wildlife-rescue-and-conservation-center

The Crocodile Farm is almost just like any zoo, but with a lot of crocs. This facility is found in Irawan, Palawan. Skeletal and skin remains of the biggest crocodile caught in Palawan were exhibited at the museum. The croc nursery contains most of the living crocs in the farm. There were about 20 tanks in the nursery, each housing about 15 to 20 baby crocs. We then climbed to a path where we could view the adult crocodiles under us. Before going back to the bus, there was croc photo op where the tourist pays php30 for a chance to have his picture taken with a baby crocodile. Most of the balikbayans and foreigners lined up for that, while I went to check out the souvenir shop which was a few meters away from our tour bus. I got myself a star necklace and a couple of mini rain sticks for my friends. – Text from: http://xplorerboyz.blogspot.com/2011/08/palawans-crocodile-farm.html#.WC52KCSkxlM
