Tenerife's Loro Parque is home to some 30,000 animal species including the world's largest collection of penguins. It also boasts silverback gorillas, panthers and much, much more.
If you harbour a particular passion for parrots and exotic birds you can find some 300 of the world's 8,000 species and sub-species here - the most important collection of parrots in the world.
Attractions are not just confined to our feathered friends. There is a marine life section with impressive coral displays, as well as innumerable fish tanks containing all kinds of monsters and beauties such as sea horses and even sharks.
Try walking down the shark tunnel without feeling slightly concerned about the strength of the glass. Out in the open (where you'll feel more safe) there are round the clock sea-lion, dolphin and parrot shows. Larger creatures include gorillas, chimpanzees, tigers, jaguars, alligators, flamingos and Galapagos tortoises, while the Orchid House has a fantastic floral display - plenty to keep you occupied and interested for at least a day.
