The natural environment is one of the best attributes of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo. The crocodile reserve located in Playa Linda, Ixtapa, is also a good spot to watch iguanas, turtles, many birds and other species. Some years ago there was a man who fed these saurians; if you are lucky will see there Tamakún - the "Crocodile King".

Birds like the roseate spoonbill, wood stork, chachalacas (a kind of Mexican hen), herons, parakeets and many others are present in this ecological reserve. During May to June you will see the newborn squabs are just growing their first feathers.
