How to experience Tenerife's wildlife

By Gwen Douglas


Tenerife belongs to the Canary Islands of Spain and because of its location it has warm temperatures for the whole year. Situated not far off the coast of Africa, Tenerife has an extremely wide variety of wildlife. Birds from northern parts of Europe fly to the island in the winter because of its warm climate. This means that people are just as likely to see a blackbird or pigeon as they are a lizard or exotic bird.

For people who want to experience the huge amount of wildlife on the island, there are a number of different ways for them to do so. There are parks which are protective environments for a number of animals but much of the wildlife can be found wherever people travel on the island. The climate and terrain of the island makes it the ideal living place for many birds and reptiles and so tourists often see these species when travelling around towns.

Loro Parque is by far the most popular way to see the wildlife of Tenerife and being the second most popular attraction for tourists is a testament to how enjoyable a visit to the park is. The park is a protective home for many species which live in the wild on the island but also a lot which don't as well. The park's focus is primarily on the many tropical birds but there is much more for people to see too.

Although Loro Parque is mainly focused on tropical birds, it is also home to lots of other amazing animals. Some of the favourites are the dolphins and sea lions which can be seen in shows throughout the day. There are also penguins, gorillas, chimpanzees, tigers and many others which people would have to travel the world to otherwise experience.

The sea life around Tenerife is amazing and going snorkelling or scuba diving is a great way to get a really good look at it. Snorkelling off of the beaches and rocks lets people get a look at the very common tropical fish but going scuba diving is an entirely different experience and something everyone should try.
