Introduction
Special exhibitions are presented year-round offering focused insights into specific themes and species.
Humans were once merely a part of the natural food chain, but through technological advancement and large-scale organization, have become dominant apex predators. Today, marine biologists warn that sharks—once the ocean’s top predators—may be among the first marine species pushed toward endangerment due to human activities.
The Yangtze River, China’s longest river, is not only a vital lifeline for human civilization but also a cradle of biodiversity. Its basin supports more than half of China’s aquatic species, including over 300 species of fish.
