Icon surabaya east java. You havent come to Surabaya if you havent taken a picture in front of the statue 😁 located at the entrance of the Surabaya zoo, quite crowded visitors to photograph in front of this statue even in the late at night! soo you have to be patient, and you dont have to fear if you go there alone and couldnt capture the moment , bcz there are a lot of photographers with affordable prices and very friendly and polite. when I was there alone they were besides offering for photos but we also sat down spent 2 hours telling story of many things. Lol and I know some photographers but i am still remeber just one his name's Marwan :) he's very friendly and comes from NTT. And all my beautiful pics was taken by marwan. Thanks marwan, god bless u!!

The photos were taken during March 2020 to July 2020, when I stayed in a small inn in Jalan Raya Darmo area. Every evening , after supper, I would go for a walk to the monument of Suroboyo from the inn I stayed. At that time, Surabaya zoo was closed because of covid-19, the monument is in front of the zoo. I liked standing on the overbridge to view the comings and goings of motorcycles and vehicles, it was rather relaxed time for me. Suroboyo seems to be a symbol represents Surabaya, I have seen Suro and Boro on many things coming from Surabaya, for example, Bus Suroboyo, kue kukus Pahlawan, football team, etc. The third picture shows what I want to say “ I love Surabaya”.❤️🥰

Suro and Boyo Statue Statue of Sura and Baya (Javanese: Statue of Suro and Boyo) is a statue which is the symbol of the city of Surabaya. This statue is in front of the Surabaya Zoo. This statue consists of two animals, namely a crocodile and a shark, which inspired the name of the city of Surabaya: fish sura (shark) and baya (crocodile). This statue was built in 1988 by a craftsman named Sigit Margono with cement as the material and was architected by Sutomo Kusnadi. This statue has survived to this day, regardless of the past story.

It's a much neede "jungle" in the middle of a blazing hot city like Surabaya. The animal collections are nice. There are some attraction too in which you can interact with some animals i.e camels, elephants, etc. Really is a good place to find fresh air with your family. That being said, some areas are not properly managed causing the animals too be stressed. Especially area near the exit. Hopefully they're more responsible for the animals that they keep in the zoo. Some areas are filled with trash too.

Besides of Tugu Pahlawan (Heroes Monument), I think this is also being the other iconic statue of the city of Surabaya. It also shows us the battle of Suro and Boyo, that later become the etymology of the name of Surabaya and also become the symbol of coat of arms of this big town. The statue is also well placed because many people or visitors of Surabaya pass this place if they want to go to the city centre. The surrounding park is also well maintained.

Cerita dongeng.. Monumen ini mengisahkan tentang perebutan kekuasaan antara ikan hiu Sura dan Buaya.. Dimana perkelahian terjadi karena Sura melanggar perjanjian dengan buaya tentang pembagian wilayah kekuasaan.. Pertarungan antara Ikan Hiu yang bernama Sura dengan Buaya ini sangat berkesan di hati masyarakat Surabaya. Oleh karena itu, nama Surabaya selalu dikait-kaitkan dengan peristiwa ini. Dari peristiwa inilah kemudian dibuat lambang Kota Madya Surabaya yaitu gambar ikan sura dan buaya. Namun ada juga yang berpendapat Surabaya berasal dari Kata Sura dan Baya. Sura berarti Berani atau selamat Baya berarti Bahaya, jadi Surabaya berarti berani menghadapi bahaya. Bahaya yang dimaksud adalah serangah tentara Tar-tar yang hendak menghukum Raja Jawa. Seharusnya yang dihukum adalah Kertanegara, karena Kertanegara sudah tewas terbunuh, maka Jayakatwang yang diserbu oleh tentara Tar-tar. Setelah mengalahkan Jayakatwang orang-orang Tar-Tar merampas harta benda dan puluhan gadis-gadis cantik untuk dibawa ke Tiongkok. Raden Wijaya tidak terima diperlakukan sepereti ini. Dengan siasat yang jitu, Raden Wijaya menyerang tentara Tar-Tar di pelabuhan Ujung Galuh hingga mereka menyingkir kembali ke Tiongkok. Selanjutnya, dari hari peristiwa kemenangan Raden Wijaya inilah ditetapkan sebagai hari jadi Kota Surabaya.
