These species, which include creatures like scorpions and spiders, have many examples inside Jungle Park. One of the popular spiders is the Theraphosa Blondi, also known as the “Goliath Bird Eater”. It normally lives in the South America has longer feet than other spiders. This giant spider weighs 170 grams on average. It is usually fed to mice or lizards. Its poisonous teeth are its deadliest weapons, not its webs.
Another stand out from the arthropods section is the Pandinus Imperator, which is the second longest scorpion in the world. Their natural habitat is Africa and they have an average life span of 8 years. They live in the nests they dig. They mainly eat termites in their natural environment, so although they are poisonous and strong, they are not that aggressive.
Arowana fish is among the most stunning fish species in the Jungle Park. These freshwater fish have lived since the age of dinosaurs and their natural habitats are the rivers in Asia. They are very aggressive fish. They are large as they can go up to 150 cm in length. They are also known as Dragon Fish and considered to bring luck and prosperity to the keeper, if they can keep the fish healthy and happy.

attention is the Mata Mata turtle. They are among the most odd-looking animals
in the entire world with big, long heads that resembles a leaf. They are
extremely slow and are carnivores that prefer live fish.
Another
reptile that stands out is the Panther Chameleon. They live in tropical forests
around the island of Madagascar and are one of the most colorful chameleons in
the world. The male ones are richer in color to attract females. They often
stay in trees and branches.
Desert monitors, also known as Varanus griseus, are also in Jungle Park. They are big lizards that can grow up to 2 meters in length. They live in Central Asia, North Africa, Egypt and our country.
