The Rancho Texas Park lies in the town of Tias on the southern part of the island of Lanzarote. This huge park is home to several wild and exotic creatures that, according to the park, have been kept in captivity solely for the reason of education and conservation. The species vary from mammals to reptiles and birds, and there are such rare and amazing animals like the Nile Crocodiles, White Tigers, California Sea Lions, and even the Bald Eagle. Besides the animals, the park also has certain "Environments," like the Gold Mine, Lilliput and the Pathway of Colors, that have special activities and special exhibits. The park also has restaurants so if you hear a growl and realize it is just your stomach and not the wild animals, head to one and satiate the hunger. Another great thing about the park is that they have their own bus service, so getting to Rancho Texas is quite easy and hassle-free. For more information, please see the website.
