| Once
upon a time, animals and plants lived undisturbed by human beings. Now that we have taken over, wildlife in Portsmouth is just an echo of its former self - but what an echo! We have one of the most exciting places in the country for wildlife - the mudflats, marshes, seashores, woodland, grassland and built-up areas of the city mean we can attract all sorts of different species right to our front door. |
Butterfly House Between May and September you can walk through the butterfly house
filled with living insects and plants. The temperature is kept at
a high level so that we can support exotic butterflies as well as
some beautiful foreign plants. In winter months it is still possible
to search for caterpillars under the palm leaves but the butterflies
themselves do not fly in the colder part of the year. |
