Selwo Marina is a small (1.67 hectares) marine park located in
Benalmádena ,Spain . It is the only park of its kind inAndalusia .The park has 4 areas; 'Antillas', 'Las Hondonada', 'Amazonia' and 'Isla de Hielo'. 'Antillas' is where the
dolphin andsea lion pools are located. There are 4 large pools, three of which are home to their threebottlenose dolphin s, and the last used for interactive programmes such as Swim With a Sea Lion. The main large pool (The 'Show Pool') is used by both the dolphins and sea lions during shows, however the sea lions do not have access to it otherwise. 'Las Hondonada' is the area in which the Bird and Snake Shows take place. There are also aviaries to view theparrot s when they aren't performing. 'Amazonia' is a small indoor area containing tank ofsnake s,lizard s,fish ,caiman s and a collection of others. 'Isla de Hielo' translates to 'Island of Ice' and is home to their collection ofpenguin s. The penguin exhibit mimics that of their natural habitat; the amount of light they receive during the day is relative to what they would receive in the wild, so that during the summer the lights are at their dimmest, and in winter they are at their brightest.References
