 Sea-lion jumping through a
hoop by easyoar
This picture shows the performing sea-lions. They put on a very good show, but the animals are quite temperamental, so when we saw them the first time, the show was very good, whereas the second time we saw the show, one of the sea-lions went AWOL (Absent without leave), meaning the show was rather shortened. The moral being that it can be well worth attending some of the shows more than once.
Whereas the dolphin show was fairly easy to photograph as they tended to give you a good indication of what was going to happen next, and often repeat the move more than once. The sea-lions were much more difficult as they would suddenly do something unexpected and the move would not be repeated. Leave a Comment

 If you've gotta go......... by mazzap
They are basic with a washbasin inside the cubicle and are generally clean (well clean enough!) and the best bit is they're free!!! Leave a Comment

 Dolphin jumping over a
man standing on 2
dolphins by easyoar
The dolphins were also relatively easy to photograph as the tricks were normally indicated in some way. For instance in the attached photo, the guy stood on two dolphins and raised his arms. It didn't take a lot of guessing that a dolphin would jump over him, so I pre-focussed the camera on the guys body and waited. When the dolphin jump, it was just a case of waiting for it to pass over the guys head and clicking the shutter button.
The show must have lasted at least half an hour, and the dolphins did many jumps (through hoops, up in the air to hit hanging balls, and up to grab a fish from a person hanging high in the air). It was well worth watching, and you are free to see it as many times in a day as you like. Leave a Comment

 Camels in the desert! by easyoar
It costs 8 Euros to go on a camel, and 4 Euros to go on a donkey. Both rides are for 20 minutes, and take you off behind the camello center. Having ridden on camels a few times before and knowing how smelly and cantankerous they can be, I did not bother to have another go.
There is a littl restuarant and shop there too, so you can grab a sandwich or some drinks etc. Leave a Comment

 Sunset in El Teide by agarcia
It also creates the ideal location to witness one of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever seen. It's something difficult to describe with words, or even with pictures. As the Sun goes down, the layer of clouds turns slowly into an intense yellow and orange tone, while the siluete of the mountain remains like a mysterious pyramid, placed in the middle of nowhere. An absolutely breathtaking image. Leave a Comment

 Koi Carp in a feeding
frenzy by easyoar
Every so often, a Discovery Tour leaves from this site, and the fist thing they do is throw a little fish fod into the water for the carp. At this point they go nuts and all thrash around together frantically trying to get food. This picture shows exactly this.
Koi Carp are highly prized in japan, and have beeen bred for over 100 years there with just one goal in mind. The objective is to breed a white Koi Carp, that has a single red mark on its breast. The reason for this is? Because it mirrors the Japanese flag! A good example of a Koi Carp will fetch over 100,000 USD at auction. They assure you at Loro Parque that there are no such carp in their pond! Leave a Comment

 Bird of Paradise by agarcia
I guess it happens more or less the same in every tropical or subtropical environment: you can almost hear the vegetation growing if you put an ear close enough to them ;-) Leave a Comment

 Red Admiral Butterflies by easyoar
This one was flying around the gardens in the Piramides de Guimar and I could see quite a few people paying more attention to the gardens here than to the Pyramids.
I'm not sure what the purple flowers were, but they were attracting a ot of attention from all sorts of different butterflies. Leave a Comment

 Watch out for that Croc... by easyoar
Due to the ridges on their backs, the water just glides throuhg leaving hardly a ripple as they swim towards their prey. When they snap their jaws closed, it is with so much power that they shatter the strongest bone, and then they drag their prey under the water until it stops struggling, and then consume it.
The crocs in Loro Parque are behind a glass fronted wall so you can get right up next to them. One I saw had small fishes swimming into his mouth and eating the food in his teeth. The crocodile ignored them and let them clean him up. Leave a Comment
