In the Zoological Museum of Kiel University

On 21 August 2018 I visited for the first time the Zoological Museum Kiel. I visited there very interesting exhibitions concerning i.a. history of zoology in Kiel, marine mammals and exotic birds. I was enraptured with big, bright room dedicated to whales and biodiversity. In it are exhibited skeletons (or specimens) of various animal species which allowed us to observe how differentiate animal world really is. During my long and nice visit in the Zoological Museum Kiel I learned numerous interesting facts concerning seabirds and other species of animals.
