Living Planet

The Bio Wall in Living Planet houses hundreds of creatures and by using a mixture of touch screen technology and hands-on investigations, visitors can investigate these animals and find out where they live and how they survive in such extreme places as the arctic and desert. Live animal tanks and aquaria are integrated into this major display where visitors can see wolf fish, pythons and lizards to name a few.
