Terra Natura - Red in Tooth and Claw

it creeps, crawls or slithers and is deadly dangerous

Just like nature in the raw Terra Natura never stands still. Benidorm's big nature theme park is constantly developing and adding new attraction to its roster. The official opening has just taken place of the 'I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of here,' influenced Venomous Creatures exhibition. If it creeps, crawls or slithers and is deadly dangerous, it's here!
Tarantulas, vipers, scorpions rattle snakes and killer bugs, yes killer bugs, are all featured amongst the 44 different species on display. You can see them all locked safely behind bars in the Volcano of the Pangea zone of the park.
Other new features on the agenda are a couple of aquatic attractions which will be revealed and up and running by summer, an exhibition of falconry and a new suspended viewing station to observe the behaviour of the park's herd of elephants.
Terra Natura really is a fun place to visit – don't forget that it has a big water park with slides aplenty – but it also serves to educate us about the world we live in.
