Last time, we just explored the Natural History Museum until the second floor, but this time, we were on the third floor. It was,sort of, very big. And, interestingly, we reached there around the time of closure. They were about to turn off lights, but luckily, i was able to look at almost everything on the third floor.
Dinosaurs are fascinating creatures from the past ever lived on this planet. There are hundreds of movies worldwide that revolve around unfolding the mysteries around dinosaurs. Have you ever wondered.... What leads to extinction of these gigantic creatures?
There are multiple theories regarding extinction of these gigantic creatures. One of the theories is Asteroid Impact theory that goes like millions of years ago, massive asteroids collided with earth, and that led to the extinction of dinosaurs. These weren't solely asteroids but gradual events like volcanic eruption, tsunami, climate change, seasonal shifting, and many more things.
Well, let's relate these things to the present day of Earth. I often wonder that Earth is counting its time. Climate change isn't a myth. It's turning the hardest and harsher reality with each coming day. The Earth is reminding us on day to day basis that humans did unjustice with it. Pakistan is the most vulnerable country with climate change. Even the contribution of Pakistan in greenhouse emission gases is just more than 0.6% of global emissions.
Well, these two neighboring countries, India and Pakistan, are suffering a lot with climate change. There are massive flash floods in both countries along with torrential rains.
I think i was a bit distracted, but these taxidermies of extinct, vulnerable, and endangered species are not merely for display.
No, They are not merely for display. Learn and Think... What caused their EXTINCTION?
It was surely HUMAN ACTIVITIES AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Urial- Vulnerable creature, again because of human activities. Save these creatures !
You know, Museum was amazingly interesting. A section having disectional parts of tree's trunks. Above these disectional parts it was mentioned - Dendrocronlogy
It's study of rings on the trunk of the tree and with the help of these rings, experts can determine the age of trees. Isn't it fascinating?
Even Hive was also there in the Museum 😉.
Ah, It's over my head. What if it bites me? Should i have to run from here?
No no, it's in search of Hive 😄. Hive is common thing among us. Our journey is the same. So, there's no need to be afraid of this big Honeybee.
Look, we found Hive for Honey bee.
Woww, Honey is ready, honey.
Information regarding different types of honey bees was also attached there from where i got to know about different Apis.
The Museum keepers turned off the lights..... It's time to turn off everything and to close the Museum. While stepping out of the museum, I was able to capture some photos of the statue of Baluchitherium that is almost at the outer side of the museum.
Skeleton of Blue Whale found from Balochistan- Pakistan.
Obviously,
These three Hivers are sitting !
Let me add myself, now we are four hivers.
