World's First Tomistoma Breeding Farm
Tomistoma means "sharp mouth", derived from tomos (Greek for "cutting" or "sharp") + stoma (Greek for "mouth"), referring to the slender shape of the jaws.

This kind of species only habitat in Borneo, Malaysia and Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan & Java).It is estimated that there is only less than 1,000 alive in the world. They can grow up to 5m (16 feet) in length.

Jong’s Crocodile Farm & Zoo has successfully hatched this species since 2005 but is still trying to improve the hatching ratio.



Jong’s Crocodile Farm & Zoo, situated at 18½ Miles (29km) Kuching/ Serian Highway, a 20 minute leisure drive from Kuching Town, the capital of Sarawak, Land of Hornbills, boasts one of the largest and the only crocodile breeding farm in the country.


Set amidst the charming backdrop of tall tropical trees, lush vegetation and local fruit trees lies this unique farm with over a thousand crocodiles bred in captivity. The farm provides a perfect sanctuary for the reptiles, saving the species from extinction.  There are huge and deep concrete ponds and natural breeding grounds for the crocodiles to mate and multiply.




Visitors are able to gaze at the snapping jaws, cold menacing eyes, sharp pointed teeth and powerful lashing tails of the crocs within short distance yet safe because of the metal fence.


Apart from crocodiles there are also numerous rare species of birds and animals found only in the Borneo Island.  Visitors can have the enchanting experience of walking freely among the monkeys, leopard-cats, sunbears, bearcats, pheasants, civets, barking deers, sambar deers, turtles, fruit bats, monitor lizards, pythons and even hornbills.
