Observe the majestic Sulcata Tortoise (Testudo sulcata, 1796) grazing on Gutweed or grass kelp (Ulva intestinalis), surrounded by the vibrant colors of the Mediterranean Snakelocks Anemone (Anemonia sulcata). Keep a watchful eye for the Brittle Star echinoderm (Ophiomastix annulosa) hiding among the rocks. Delve deeper into the depths and uncover extinct coral and sponge fossils, as well as ancient plant fossils such as the scale tree and horsetail.
