Zoological Museum

Museum / gallery

The Zoological Museum in Rivne operates on the basis of the Stepan Demyanchuk International University of Economics and Humanities. The collection of rare animals, which includes over 2,500 specimens, was collected and systematized by biologist Rostyslav Shykula.

All exhibits are rare for Ukraine. Most of them are exotic invertebrates of the seas and tropical coasts and forests. A significant part of the collection is made up of a section that presents insects from Africa, South America, South and Southeast Asia and adjacent islands.

The diversity of the entomofauna of Ukraine is represented by collections of beetles, butterflies, hymenoptera, bedbugs and other arthropods. Among the rare species of Ukraine are the dead-head beetle, the black apollo, the swallowtail, the podalirius sailfish, the stag beetle, the muskrat, the large oak barbel, the hermit beetle.

The most valuable exhibit in the collection is the Hercules beetle, 14.8 centimeters long - it is also the largest beetle in the world.

Today, only Lviv National University has a similar collection in the western regions of Ukraine.
