Turtles, Jelly fish, and wetland

 

This the habitat for the giant Aldabra tortoise.

 

The Aldabra giant tortoise are from the islands of the Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles, and they are one of the largest tortoises in the world.

 

The Aldabra giant tortoise is a herbivorous animal, spending much of its time browsing for food in its surrounding well-vegetated environment.

These red birds are called Scarlet Ibis

 

 

 

Different species of birds inside the Aviary.

 

The scarlet Ibis acquires its bright red color, like flamingos with their characteristic pink color from the crabs and prawns on which it feeds.

 

We are now done with visiting the Oceanography and we are now headed to the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia you see in the distance.

It looks close from here but it is a good 20 minutes walk to get here.

 

The building with a somewhat dome is the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia

 

The Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia is an Opera and performing arts center dedicated to music and the performing arts.

It was closed when we got there.

 

We are now leaving the City of Art and Sciences.  These high rise buildings are in front of the Palau of de les Arts Reina Sofia.
