Last August 22, 2008, our school had its educational field trip. The itinerary included the Pasig river, the Science Entertainment Station, The Davao Crocodile Park Road Show and Wild Life Encounter and Star City.

The Davao Crocodile Park Road Show and Wild Life Encounter at the former site of Boom na Boom in Pasay proved to be very educational. The show is aimed to educate the public how endangered animals deserved to be treated humanely. It is also aimed at the protection and preservation of these animals. It also makes the public to be aware of the role these wild life animals play in the ecosystem.

There I got my first hand experience with fresh water and Philippine crocos. I was able to witness how these crocodiles are fed and how dangerous it is to feed them. They could also do some stunts. I mean they can jump for as high as six feet and devour their targets. I was also held breathless by the tightrope walker who did his stunts above fifty crocodiles. I mean fifty flesh hungry animals.

I also had the chance to have a close encounter with the albino python, the Brazilian boa and the buzzard. I had a moment with the orangutan. I was able to photograph the orangutan with me.

Wild life protection is a thrust which everyone of us should take seriously for the next generations to experience and encounter the wild life species. Wild life is nature’s gift to us
