die naturwelten - tierisch gut

In the organizer's words:

Whether iguanas, lightning or dinosaurs - in NaturWelten you can experience the unique combination of living animals and natural history specimens. From the water to the coast and up into the air - this is how the permanent natural history exhibition presents itself. You start your journey in the blue expanses of the WaterWorlds. Over 200 animal species inhabit a wide variety of habitats: the cool North Sea, the lively Amazon or the colorful South Seas. The exhibits are not only related to Lower Saxony, but are located internationally. Important vacation destinations such as the Canary Islands or the Caribbean are just as much a theme in the exhibition as the Steinhuder Meer - and are illuminated together. This results in different perspectives on the living environment of Lower Saxony and, time and again, astonishing connections between supposedly different places and themes: A look at the history of the earth shows that the climatic conditions of today's tropical Caribbean already existed "here on site" in an older, but very similar manifestation in the Upper Jurassic! This results in a great advantage for teaching: aspects of geological history are directly combined with those of present-day habitats and both with the abundance of aquaristic-terraristic life. The main focus is therefore an intensive connection of all natural history facets with each other, as they also occur in the actual appearance of the environment on our earth.
