 Although the island of Tenerife offers many varied habitats the number of species of mammals found living here that are natives is very small and it isn’t much greater when you add in the introduced species.
There are several species of bats that may be seen. The Grey Long-eared Bat (Plecotus austriacus) is rare and according to Wikipedia it is endangered. It is a large bat and is identifiable by its long ears. It feeds mainly on moths and midges and likes to hunt over woodland. The Grey Long-Eared bat is also found in other parts of Europe including the UK.

Santa Úrsula – a town in Tenerife’s north |
 Santa Úrsula is a town in the north of Tenerife not far from La Orotava and La Victoria de Acentejo on the other side.
It has a very picturesque church, which was built in the 17th century. The surrounding square with fountain and palms, jacaranda and Norfolk pine trees growing add to the attractiveness of this part of Santa Úrsula.
Nature-lovers can delight in seeing numbers of Monarch butterflies flying in the very heart of the town of Santa Úrsula because the insect’s food plant the Scarlet Milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) is often planted in gardens and public borders there.

UFOs and sky watching in Tenerife |
 Tenerife is perhaps not the sort of place you would associate with the mysterious phenomena of UFOs or flying saucers as they used to be known but the island has had a surprising number of sightings of unexplained lights and craft for many years. Actual alien encounters have also been reported.
In fact so much interest has been generated in the subject of ufology that there are several areas of Tenerife that have become known as places you are more likely to see a UFO. Sky watches have been held at these locations on many occasions too.

Farms and farming in Tenerife |
 Farming in Tenerife has undergone many changes. At one time sugar cane and cochineal production were common in the island but now banana plantations cover many miles of arable land, as do vineyards.
In fact, the covered banana plantations are highly visible and are one of the first things visitors to Tenerife will notice when they arrive here. But many of them also grow other fruits including mangoes and tomatoes.
