Another exciting activity you can do at the park is to feed the lovely koi fishes.

There is a rounded pond at the park that is full of Koi fishes. They are so many that you can just touch them.

This is a perfect activity especially for the kids. And of course for the kids at heart.

You can buy fish food from the staff at the park. Feed the fishes by your hands and the fishes will be competing to get their share with the food that you are giving them.

However, be warned of getting wet. Fishes will flex their body back and forth creating splashes of water that will make you wet.

So be prepared for an extra dress or shirt, in case.

Another animal that you can feed at the park is the ostrich.

There are a number of them at the park. If you are lucky, you can see the huge eggs they lay in their pen.

Feeding them is a little bit intimidating especially for the kids because they are huge. However, they are very friendly creatures.

I would like to believe that they are used to having the visitors at the park.

They know that you will be feeding them. Be fast though in giving them food because if you are slow, they will take the food bag from you.

Another feeding that we have witnessed during our visit is the feeding of the Bengal tiger which was performed by one of the Davao Crocodile park owners, Mr. Sonny Dizon himself as he showed it to his visitors.

Tiger feeding is not offered to the public during our visit.
