Local Fauna

You won't encounter any dangerous animals on Gran Canaria – there are no snakes, scorpions, or venomous insects. What you may come across, however, are lizards, ants, and various beetles, such as cucarachas, which are often mistakenly identified as European cockroaches. Despite the best efforts of hoteliers, they can appear in any type of accommodation, including the most luxurious ones. However, there’s no need to worry, they cause no harm and cannot survive outside the islands.
