ZOOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS
The zoological collections contains descriptions of the fauna's taxonomic classification. Along with extensive cultural and educational work on zoology, as well as the popularization and propagation of environmental protection ideas among a broad segment of the population, educational programs for secondary and higher education institution students are implemented.
The BSED Science Virtual Museum of Natural History’s Zoological Collections showcases animal collections that have been dried or preserved in fluids for scientific, cultural, and educational purposes.
THE ANIMAL KINGDOM MAKES UP JUST 0.4% OF GLOBAL BIOMASS.
Livestock accounts for more biomass than all humans on earth; more than 50% greater than humans. And livestock accounts for much more than all wildlife: Wild mammals and birds collectively account for only 0.38% — livestock therefore outweighs wild mammals and birds by a factor of ten.

The common clownfish is a small fish that grows about 4 inches in length. Their body color is a bright orange with three white bars, the middle with a forward bulge centrally. The common clownfish lives inside the tentacles of various venomous anemones. This relationship protects the common clownfish from predation by other fishes in exchange for the common clownfish removing parasites and chasing away species that may try to eat its host anemone. They are plankton pickers, which means they look for and consume individual zooplankton or phytoplankton floating in the water column.
