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 exhibition 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 can be observed various skeletons or specimens of these 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 a lot of interesting facts concerning seabird and other species of animals.
