Singapore Crocodile Farm Series

5Or Tan Moh Hong Reptile Skin & Crocodile Farm, as it's called. Located at 790 Upper Serangoon Road (not far from our MMI Kovan preschool), this humble 'hideaway' was founded more than 60 years ago at the end of World War II by Mr. Tan Gna Chia. (It's all research, baby.)

5Like we need to be warned/reminded at all. With a bite force exceeding 5,000 pounds per square inch (340 atm), which is the strongest of all animals, we wouldn't risk anything. (Surprisingly, as much as crocs' jaws can snap close with immense power, they don't possess much strength to open them - and one can even keep their mouths shut using a single rubber band!)

5Two pairs of Crocodylidae members basking in the midday sun. Frankly, their family is so huge I can't - for the life of me - tell a caiman species from a gharial.

5Is this an alligator? I have no idea. All I know is it looks positively menacing. Easy, boy.
