Pests!?

We constantly encounter animal species that annoy us or can even be dangerous to us. 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 of these species are justified, some are not – often entire groups of animals are labeled as 'pests'. However, all animals fulfill an ecological function. After all, we need a large biological diversity and different habitats to maintain the enormous material cycles of the Earth and thus our basis of life. Whether it's goosebumps, fright, or laughter: Come by for an exciting journey of discovery into rather unpleasant animal species. Learn why humans and 'pests' live in conflict and how coexistence on our planet might still be possible.
