Inside the museum, the lively colors: pink, green, red, and light blue, along with a huge imitated-ant and a tree with ant’s nests on its branches would probably attract young visitors. Clear plastic boxes containing live ants and their nests for visitors who want to observe the ant’s behaviors are nearby.

Most exhibited samples are stuffed animals with informative posters giving scientific names, characteristics, habitats and food. Some samples are skeletons.
The largest skeleton in the museum is of Bryde’s Whale, approximately 13 meters long in general. Inside glass showcases are Dugong’s and Bottlenosed Dolphin’s skeletons. The dolphin is generally 1.9-2.8 meters long. All are mammals.
Children should be amazed by the size of a Whale Shark floating in mid-air, even it was a replica. Other kinds of sharks are displayed, such as Leopard Shark and Nurse Shark. A Shark Ray, another odd-looking fish, has a wide flat head with mouth underneath like a ray, while his dorsal fin and tail are like those of a shark.
