Reptiles, amphibians, insects, and arachnids, also referred to as creepy crawlies, are often feared or ignored creatures. But for what they lack in adorableness, they make up for their survival skills. These creatures have been around for more than 300 million years and they thrive in almost every habitat known to man.
Going beyond the usual portrayal of crawlies as stuff of fears and nightmares, Manila Ocean Park's World of Creepy Crawlies celebrates the diversity, beauty, character, and peculiarity of these amazing creatures.
Through the exhibit, visitors will discover colorful and interesting specimens found in many parts of the world. The animals' enclosures are designed to mimic their natural habitat. The Dart Frogs, for example, live in enclosures with soil, foliage, plants, and tree branches, while the Turtles spend time swimming in their pools.
Going through the various sections, visitors will learn how these creatures play a crucial role in nature and act as barometers to a healthy environment. There are exhibit labels that name and describe the featured animal. There is also a big Trivia Wall that tells fun facts about the creepy crawlies. Lastly, the attraction offers a "Show and Tell" program hosted by well-trained and knowledgeable animal handlers. Through this program, visitors get a chance to have a close encounter with the featured animal of the day.
While enjoying the sights, sounds, and feel of the world of creepy crawlers, visitors will gain a deeper respect and better appreciation of these underrated members of the Animal Kingdom.
Visit Manila Ocean Park's World of Creepy Crawlies and face your fears of these creatures or simply marvel at the magnitude of their world.
