Muzium Alam Semulajadi 7 Dec 2010

Today is Awal Muharam national holiday. Even though all of us is still under the AH1N1 medication, Daddy decided to brig us to Putrajaya for a walk. The first thing that came to Mummy’s mind was the museum that last time, Mummy used to pass by so many times but did not know that there is a museum besides the job site. We headed to Putrajaya.

The Natural History Museum in Precint 15, Putrajaya was established as one of the governments initiatives in collecting, documenting as well as to exhibit the Malaysia's naturals heritage such as the plants, animals, rocks, minerals and fossil, some of which are the country's invaluable treasures.

The Natural History Museum acts as a resource for informal science education and is dedicated to expand the public's knowledge and be beneficial to the people of Malaysia, as well as our respected tourist from all over the world. The museum is home to a variety of specimens comprising of extinct and endangered species of the flora and fauna, as well as those which are still in existence, in order to serve one of its objectives that is to preserve the naturals heritage of Malaysia.

It is so happened that currently there is a Malaysian Mammals Exhibition going on which started on 1 Feb 2010 until 31 Dec 2010. The entry fees is RM2.00 per adult. The exhibition showcased  some selections from the various types of mammals.

Among  the attraction is the skeleton of a Bryde whale which carcass  was found stranded in Kampung Tanjung Aru beach, Federal Territory of Labuan on 2 February 2005. In addition to that, tiger, Sun Bear, Sumatran Rhinoceros, Asian Elephant, Mainland Serow and the "living fossil" of a tapir are some of the  protected animals at the verge of extinction,  can also be found in this exhibition. We can find bats, squirrels and otter too in the exhibitions.

At the centre of the hall, there is a children reading corner and multimedia corner whereby the kids can do some reading. Both kids were so happy and like the place, running up and down, here and there. They were enjoying all the times there.

Both Issac and Annabelle keep asking Daddy to snap photos on them with the exhibits and some tigers, cheetah soft toys too.
