Pests!?

We constantly encounter animal species that annoy us or can even be dangerous. Such animals are often referred to as 'pests'. In this exhibition, various animals will be examined: Why do mosquitoes want our blood? What should I do with the raccoon in the attic? Why do anacondas have such a bad reputation? And how dangerous is the great white shark really? Some fears regarding these species are justified, while others are not – often whole groups of animals are labeled as 'pests'. However, all animals serve an ecological function. After all, we need a large biological diversity and different habitats to keep the enormous material cycles of the Earth and thus our living conditions stable. Whether it’s goosebumps, horror, or laughter: Come along on an exciting journey of discovery into rather unpleasant animal species. Learn why humans and 'pests' live in conflict and how coexistence on our Earth might still be possible.
