The wilderness.

From icy cold to rocks hot from the sun. In the Wilderness’s authentic environments, you will learn about animals, plants and man’s impact on nature.

FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. AND WEST TO EAST.

In the Wilderness, you experience nature in the polar zone and the temperate zone – the two climate zones found in Sweden and around the entire globe at our latitudes. You will also have to think about the future of the wilderness, because today there are very few areas left on Earth that are untouched by humans.

KEEP A COOL HEAD IN THE POLAR ZONE

Watch the northern lights, feel the ice melt and learn more about our poles.

SPOTTING ANIMALS

The Wilderness’s aquariums and terrariums are home to fish, frogs and toads.

SEE AND DO

SPECIES IN THE WILDERNESS.

A little more than 150 years ago, the scientist Charles Darwin concluded that the individuals who are best adapted to their habitat have the greatest chance of survival. The traits that allowed these individuals to survive are transferred to their offspring and eventually these traits permeate the entire species. His theory of evolution through natural selection still holds true today.

In the Wilderness, we learn more about the species in the polar zone and the temperate zone – and how they have adapted to the life conditions there. Some of the animals in the Wilderness:

PERCH

COMMON WHITEFISH

COMMON DRAGONET

COMMON SUNSTAR

COMMON TOAD

GRASS SNAKE

NATTERJACK TOAD

THE BEEHIVE. HOME TO LITTLE SUPERHEROES.

In the Wilderness’s own beehive, during the summer months, we can see how live bees arrive through an entrance from the outside. They collect nectar and pollen outside Universeum and inside the hive they take care of the larvae and the queen. Bees are one of nature’s pollinators, a prerequisite for biodiversity and our food production.
