The Biopark is temporarily hosting Janus, a unique two-headed Greek tortoise, during the renovation of the Museum.

Grab your binoculars and picnic and explore slippery, sun-warmed rocks in search of scaly friends. Walk quietly to spot lizards basking, snakes slipping through grass, or maybe a turtle at the water’s edge. Listen to bird calls, feel the heat on stones, and sketch or describe what you see. Learn simple facts about how these reptiles live, move, and hide while using your eyes and curiosity.

Follow Zuza, a bold little girl whose everyday moments swell into grand adventures: she eats while flying, grows larger than the planet when angry, and finds a loyal crocodile companion.
