There is a specially decorated and maintained part in the Tropicarium which is like a tropical rainforest (picture 10). Here in every 20 or 30 minutes a tropical storm begins which you can watch from inside of it. You can hear thunders and it starts to rain too. The air is really wet here and the temperature is quite high too.

In this part you can see the crocodiles and some big fish. I really don't know how those fish can live near the crocodile but while we were there it didn't eat any of them :)

In another part you can see turtles and even pet them a bit :) There are also some interesting frogs, spiders and snakes too. The good thing is that there is some information about them, their habits written near their cages.

Before you leave this interesting place you can stop to pet the rays which are in a pool. This animals are quite friendly and they come to your hands if you put it in the water. I really liked this part :)
