This museum is one of Hamburg's university museums. It displays a large number of nicely presented local animal and bird species in their typical habitats, as well as a collection of endangered species from all over the world. Predators can be seen hunting their prey. Additional texts and diagrams provide you with information on the diet and the range of the animals. Protection and the preservation of certain species are other topics dealt with here. The harmful consequences of human intervention for nature and its fauna are also illustrated. Among the most impressive exhibits are a rhinoceros, a grizzly bear and several giant whale skeletons, especially a very rare whale skull with two tusks. There is no admission fee.
