Quartet of zones of the Terra Natura park

Let's get acquainted, the park consists of four zones:
Pangea,
Europe
Asia
America.

Each zone presents flora and fauna inherent and characteristic of the geographical continental part, typical architectural structures and folklore shows, National cuisine, craft and folk art. All the inhabitants are in their natural environment; there are no cages or enclosures, and most importantly, nothing interferes with the contemplation of animals and birds. The park staff carries out careful selection work, which makes it possible to regularly replenish the plant collection with new and even endangered species.

Beetles, flies, grasshoppers, volcano...or Pangea Zone

The Pangea zone is located at the very entrance to the park, demonstrating a model of a volcano with erupting fire-breathing lava, and the zone itself is dedicated to invertebrate arthropods. The scientists of the zoo were able to create and maintain a luxurious etymological collection.

Already when purchasing tickets to the park, the public is entertained by animators in insect costumes. Actors top class, and even if you haven’t had time to learn Spanish, the essence of what is happening will be clear to you. Well, those who wish can capture their face with giant grasshoppers, flies, beetles, models of which greet you already at the entrance to the park.

Tropical forest and “outlandish” animals, or Zone “America”

You will see exotic birds tropical forest: condors, vultures, toucans, orioles, parrots and many others. Then you move towards the mammals, including monkeys, capybaras, ocelots and jaguars... In this area of ​​the park you can learn a lot about poisonous animals and snakes. For example, learn to recognize a diamond rattlesnake- one of the most poisonous snakes in the world. And you can simply identify it by the “rattle” at the end of its tail. It is surprising that young snakes are “biting” due to their inability to control the amount of venom when biting.

The imperial scorpion, which has already become a “world-famous actor”, this species is often the hero of a horror film: they are big, black, in a word – “handsome” still. Emperor scorpions use venom extremely rarely. In the park you can often watch scorpions “fighting” over food, although there is plenty of it in the terrarium. We remind you that all scorpions are poisonous, but in most varieties the poison is not fatal to humans.

The “America” zone also invites you to see “outlandish animals”, for example, the Senegalese galago (Gálago de Senegal), or the White hedgehog (Erizo de vientre blanco).
