Loro Parque Animals!
At Loro Parque, they have so many different types of animals. I can garantee to you that there will be atleast one animal at the Parque, that you will have never seen before. Most of the animals were born in captivaty, so they don't know what there real habitat is like. But there are a few that were brought to Tenerife. This page will show you most of the animals that now live at Loro Parque and the others that have always known the place as they're home.
Orca Killer Whales
The Orcas at Loro Parque are a big icon there. Many people across the globe come to see their amazing show. But before 2006, if you were visiting Loro Parque, you wouldn't have been lucky enough to observe them, because, in 2006, all four of these beauties flew all the way from Sea World, Orlando, in America, (yes, you read right, America!) The four wonderful Orcas are between 5 and 13 years old and they belong in the third generation of Orcas born in captivity at Sea World. The four Orcas live happily alongside each other in the most unique pools that are between 8 and 12.5 metres deep and 120 metres long. A wonderful place for the four beauties to live comfortably together. These huge pools have a massive 22.5 million litres of pure sea water, directly from the Atlantic Ocean, from depths of 65 metres, pumped into them! These pools aren't just any random temperature, no, they are kept at a cooling 13 degrees constantly with the Sand Fliter System. With all the magnificent space of these pools, the Orca Trainers can take extra special care of these wonderful creatures. The trainers develop such a true, strong bond, the Orca show you can watch at Loro Parque is simply breath-taking. You can see what amazing depths these people go to, to look after such wonderful sweet creatures!

Parrots
'Loro' is Spanish for Parrot, so Loro Parque translated to English would be Parrot Park. These parrots are a big icon at the Parque. Many people from across the world come to see their magnificent show that's set in a majestic Arabian Palace. The show has a tradition of over 30 years, and this amazing palace in which it is set in, has a capactity of 600 people. The show, named 'Loro Show' is very funny with the parrots playing their pranks but the best part of all, is when the Parrot handlers release them, letting them fly around this magical palace, the parrots almost brushing over your head! These small creatures are simply amazing...

Dolphins
The dolphin is probably the favourite animal of children and adults. Their kind and gentle nature and special intelligence they have with humans would make them great companions. These beautiful swimmers also have their own show, and it's understandable that their show is one of the most popular shows at Loro Parque. The dolphin pool, created in 1987, is the largest dolphin pool in the entire world! This pool too has 7 million litres of sea water, and the amazing stadium in which you can watch these breath-taking animals jump and dive in, has a captivity of 1,800 people. Scientists, biologists, veterinarians and cares believe that these wonderful dolphins' well-being. And, there is proof of this, as 5 dolphins were born in this brilliant pool. The acrobatics made by these amazing creatures are incredible. In the show, they jump a massive jump of 6 metres, and higher! Their playful but gentle personalities conquer the hearts of many people.
