National Animal Museum: Colorful popular science activities are a haunting event

it is said that in the 1950s, a fisherman in Anhui accidentally caught a large fish that had never been seen before, and was identified by zoologists as a very precious "Changjiang goddess"porpoise! It was then sent to
Institute of Aquatic Biology. Later, the famous zoologist Mr. Wu Xianwen proposed to give it to the
Animal Institute as a precious gift, which was transferred for many years before it was realized by chen Yiyu, thenDeputy
. The death of the whiteJuly 14, 2002, means it is the last whitehumans can see. Its specimens are now on display at the National Museum of Animals as one of the country's gems.
on the west side of the Olympic Park, the National Animal Museum is located in
Olympic Park. On May 17, 2009, the National Animal Museum, part of The
Zoology Institute of China, officially opened to the public, and although she is a young museum, its collection of specimens of rare animals such as mammals, birds, insects and shellfish has a long history, rich and diverse, breathtaking and haunting."Remind you that at least one species is disappearing every day in the world..." When you walk into the National Museum of Animals to visit the Exhibition Hall of Endangered Animals, you'll see a fluorescent line on a wake-up call that fills the top.
biodiversity is closely related to human survival and development, and animal diversity is the core of biodiversity. See the specimens in the exhibition hall alive and flexible, called out: giant pandas, Zhu Qi, South China tiger, snow leopard, clouded leopard, golden cat, elk, forest slug, Platts wild horse, white-headed leaf monkey, dragonfly, cloud cat, Chinese pangolin and so on are mostly assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as extremely dangerous, endangered species. There are extremely dangerous birds of white cranes, heroic and majesty of all kinds of eagles, carvings, , dragonflies and other birds of prey, feathers with a metallic luster of brown-tailed iridescent, large mouths of several hornbilks, as well as cabinets full of Chinese-made bird specimens, very stunning.
" at present, the National Museum of Animals exhibition hall displays a total of more than 6500 animal specimens. Its biggest feature is based on the introduction of China's native wildlife, and carry out taxonomy, evolutionary biology for the purpose of scientific research, it is a collection of animal diversity and evolutionary research, animal specimen collection and animal science knowledge popularization of the tynical ty go-to academic institutions. Dr. Zhang Jinshuo, Deputy Director of the National Museum of Animals.
" specimens can let people truly understand the characteristics of animals, one of the characteristics of our museum is to present a unique traditional physical specimens, to ensure that the audience can observe up close, all-round detail, thinking, increase the sense of experience. Zhang Jinshuo said.Magpies fall into the crow category; pairs of dragonflies may not be unfixed; duo are strong enough to fly the "Belt and Road" route; the red-crowned crane never perchs on pine cypresses; the pine crane's extension is unscientific; the ferocious snow leopard's hair is very soft... It's a bit subversive, isn't it? Listen to the science at the scene, especially the deputy director Dr. Zhang Jinshuo, like a feast, not to waste this trip . . .
Within the National Museum of Animals, from the most primitive animal sponges to higher apes, from representative species of various marine biomes to the largest animals on land, to animal hosts of various poultry and livestock closely related to humans, to microorganisms such as viruses related to human health... Each exhibition hall is a treasure trove of concentrated animal essence, and is divided into scientific knowledge display, animal specimen display and ecological window display, zoological knowledge, the concept of wildlife protection organically throughout the exhibition process.
most popular popular popular science event at the National Museum of Animals in China, is the "Wonderful Night at the Museum". As night fell, in the darkened museum, science experts flashed flashlights and took the children through time and space, into the jungle to tell anecdotes about various animals. If the children are sleepy, they can also set up tents in the museum and sleep next to their favorite specimens of giant pandas, elk and dolphins.
and monthly regular science lecture halls, insect workshops and other activities have been held more than 100 periods, the audience of more than 10,000 people. In recent years, the National Museum of Animals' science teachers have also led animal lovers, nature lovers, into the Temple of Heaven, Orson Park and other urban parks, or the suburbs of Beijing, such as the Moose Garden, the far suburbs such as the Wild Duck Lake Nature Reserve, to carry out bird watching activities.
China
Institute of Zoology has several field research bases, most of which are located in national parks and nature reserves. The museum uses this unique advantage to organize the public, especially young people, or parents and children to travel to these areas to carry out field scientific expeditions and experiences. The whole process by the country's top authoritative zoologists, ecologists led by the team, collect basic data, carry out field research work, many young people participated in the research projects of scientists and published papers or popular science articles, many of the children who participated in the activities have entered the university, biology or environmental science and other majors.
