Feeding wild animals in their natural habitat may seem like a caring gesture, but in reality, it causes them enormous harm. This applies not only to deliberately leaving food out, but also to throwing leftovers into the forest – even individual cores, eggshells, or other "natural things that will decompose."

Winter is the most difficult time of year for animals. Temperatures are low, days are short, and access to food is limited. But animals have developed various strategies to survive until spring. How do they cope?

The Himalayan monal (Lophophorus impejanus) may remind us of peacocks or pheasants due to the metallic feathers of the males and the crown of feathers on their heads. It's not without reason that it is closely related to them, belonging to the same family of birds – Phasianidae

According to folk legend, animals can speak with a human voice on Christmas Eve. Most people take this legend with a grain of salt, arbitrarily assuming that animals don't speak. However, recent research on whales suggests that perhaps, at least when it comes to speech, the line between us and animals isn't as clear as we once thought.

When you visit our Center, look up after entering the main hall. You'll see a model of the solar system and models of two space telescopes – Hubble and Chandra.
