As the animal world becomes increasingly threatened, exhibits at this Russian zoological museum are helping to unlock genetic information and precious clues to aid species survival. The Zoological Museum of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg is home to one of the largest public collections of zoological specimens in the world, first formed from acquisitions made by Peter the Great 3 centuries ago. This museum is “a time capsule for organisms,” said Ross MacPhee, curator of mammals at @アメリカ自然史博物館. “Natural history museums are literally the only places where you will find good quality remains.” While genetic material is increasingly stored by institutions in frozen samples, the information to be gathered from dry specimens is also useful, said Mikhail Kalyakin, the director of the Zoological Museum at Lomonosov State University in Moscow. @mjrhill took this photo of a taxidermy specialist at the museum in St. Petersburg.
