Enter the extraordinary world of SUPERCREATURES!

Is it a rocket? Is it a plane?

This module is dedicated to the fastest living creature on the planet: the peregrine falcon.

In normal flight, it reaches speeds of 80 km/h , but it is in its hunting ‘dive’ that it surprises with a supersonic speed of 300 km/h .

Dawn howler

Howling is the Iberian wolf's form of communication. It allows it to gather the pack, mark its territory, coordinate hunts, or express emotions.

Thanks to its power, the howl can be heard from a distance of up to 16 km in open terrain and up to 10 km in forests.

The eCOCOlogical Beetle

You have just arrived at the interactive exhibit dedicated to the strongest animal in the world in proportion to its size.

Meet the sacred beetle, capable of pushing objects weighing up to 20 times its own weight. Added to this is the weight of responsibility... for its ecological role in the decomposition of organic matter.

Batmeter

This species has many ‘superpowers’... from hunting in the dark to hyperagility in the air. But there is one that stands out, and it is truly fascinating!

The common bent-wing bat control their own body temperature, almost as if they had a built-in air conditioning system. During hibernation, it reduces its metabolism and body temperature to 5ºC and, during the flight, the ‘batmeter’ can exceed 40ºC.

Guardian of the Night

There is no hearing like this! The heart-shaped facial disc of the barn owl acts like a satellite dish.

Its ears are asymmetrical (one is higher than the other), which allows this bird to triangulate the source of a sound with great accuracy. If there is one animal that knows the secrets of the night well, it is the barn owl.

Striped illusionist

Behold the master of camouflage!

The pattern of the scales of the white seabream, when moving quickly, confuses predators by 'blurring' the contours of its body.

Among rocks and seaweed, the challenge is to locate it. Which direction did it go? At what speed? Keep your eyes peeled!
