| NATURAL HISTORY |
The section on Natural History is popular among the visitors to the Museum, especially
the students. Here, scientifically presented, are specimens of Philippine fauna.
The section’s highlight is the diorama
|
containing stuffed specimens of animals indigenous to the Philippines.
Many of the University’s specimens are either endangered or already extinct,
rendering the collection very valuable
not only to naturalists and students,
but to anyone interested in the natural treasures of this country.

The Philippines has been called the Paradise
of Shell Collectors because in our seas live practically
every kind of mollusk. The University is in possession
of an immense collection covering practically the entire
world of shells, gathered through many years of field
works. The internees of the UST Campus during
the Japanese occupation were given access to the
collection to recheck and complete its taxonomic
classification. The system followed was very simple
yet proved to be very efficient.
