The best animal parks and aquariums Venezuela

Landscape and romantic waterfalls. On the other hand, the animals are a little in the dark. Notably the puma and the famous glasses bear (Tremarctos ornatus), a threatened animal from the Andes. To my knowledge, it has not been seen for five years, it is the 3rd largest bear among the 8 species. In the last two years, however, efforts are being made, both in terms of the spatial planning and the living conditions of animals.

Before venturing into Grande Sabana, it is always interesting to admire all the species (rare!) of Venezuela snakes like the boa esmeralda, rainbow. A total of about specimens are presented. The founder Saúl Gutierrrez Eljuri ([email protected]) is currently the largest "biologo" in Venezuela. Terrario is not limited to snakes: there is also, in the family of arachnids, scorpions and; in the amphibians family, the cornu toad; and even in the turtle family, the rare matamata turtle (Chelus fimbriatus). The possibility to organize an interactive one hour tour is very rewarding, especially if it is with Saúl.

At the time of the construction of the dam, the Swedish botanist Pédro Loefling collected the Indigenous Fauna (Guri area), which now places the scene: monkeys, chiguires, babas (small crocos), reptiles, etc. This gives an opportunity to cross a Jaguar and the Orinoco union! The flora is spoiled by a collection of sumptuous trees: Acajou, samanes, araguaney, ceibas and oak (robles).

In 1976, the foundation initiated a programme based on the breeding of marine turtles. In 2001, a new phase began with the global conservation and development programme for the recovery of populations in the archipelago.

In the 1960 s, only one Condor (Vultur gryphus) had the pleasure of flying in the Venezuelan sky, all were exterminated. The mission was then to incorporate the emblematic vulture into the Andean sky. We must remember that the Condor is on the badges of Bolivia, Colombia, Chile and Ecuador. Today 5 condors imported from Argentina fly up to 10 000 m in total freedom. The male that you will see in the cage answering the name of "El Combatiente" shares his prison with a female "Anicsi". The members of the association decided to offer him a company so that the two new lovers would breed.
