Surfboards were hurled into (thrown to/ arremessados, lançados) palm trees and boats were tossed around (thrown up and down by very rough waves/ jogados de cá para lá,) like toys.

It creates a natural atmosphere and shows high-tech technology at the same time, like Dinosaur, an adventure in the dinosaur world made in Audio-Animatronics technology. Besides its attractions for fun, it has a real concern with the animals, which it can be seen mainly at the conservation station, where it’s shown how several animals are raised. Most of the animals are from Africa. There is a daily animal parade, a celebration for the happiness and imagination that people found in the animals. Throughout the park you can find rare animals, accompanied by their handlers that are available to answer the visitor’s questions. In the “Tree of Life” it is carved faces of various animals.
