The moving story of Petita the famous elephant from Terra Natura Benidorm inspired a childrens story book a few years ago.

Petita the elephant  was excluded and rejected by her herd because of her physical appearance.  She was very thin and in the Elephant world "Beauty" is measured by weight,  so she was considered ugly and rejected by the others.. Today she is thriving due to the care and attention she received in Terra Natura.   

The Nature Park has now based a musical on the story of Petita ,five actors and a  large Petita puppet will portray the story which will be performed twice daily in the Amphitheatre in the Park until the month of August.

Also new this season ,is a street animation performed in the Asia section of the park by the Cobra snake enclosure . The Mysterious tales of Amil will, with the help of a snake charmer and his flute, show you the largest Cobra in Europe. Two actors and an Indian dancer will bring this to life. There are also  two new children’s area in the park , one in the America section of the park  and the other in Greece which provide activities and workshops for the children accompanied by monitors and animators from the park.
