Our World
However much we’ve discovered or think we know about life on Earth, it’s always revealing more to us than we could ever have imagined.
Our World gallery celebrates the diversity of life on Earth today. Some things to watch out for in this gallery are: the Ghaf tree and its amazing adaptations to the extreme environment of the desert, the blue whale - world’s largest animal, and finally, the Frozen Tundra.
In our three UAE areas, we look at the incredible diversity of species living in the desert, coastal and mountain regions of this country. The extreme conditions of the environments in the UAE have led to amazing adaptations in its wildlife.
The marine life of Abu Dhabi is this story of amazing adaptations that have permitted many forms of life to survive in some of the warmest and most salty water on the planet. Species such as the dugong proliferate in the waters of the Arabian gulf, being the second largest population of these animals on the planet. Here is your chance to come face to face with many of the denizens of the deep.
It’s interesting to consider that we know just as little about the deepest parts of our oceans, as we know about the deepest parts of space. There may be entire ecosystems on the ocean floor that grow and thrive completely untouched by humans. The Deep zone shows how life has adapted and thrived in the deepest parts of the oceans.
Because of how remote the Arctic zone is, it may seem like what happens in there doesn’t affect the rest of us, but changes in the Arctic ecosystem are seen much sooner than in more diverse environments, helping us understand changes coming to the rest of the world.
Did you know that some plant and animal species from the Amazon are among the most recently discovered on our planet? The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth, with an astonishing diversity of animal and plant life.
The African Savannah is probably one of the most recognizable environments on Earth, home to iconic species like the lion, zebra, giraffe, hyena and more. While examining the savannah and its many plant and animal species, we also look deeply into how its landscape and wildlife are changing.
Our look at Tasmania reveals a unique biodiversity, made possible by its closed island ecosystem. Species found on the island of Tasmania can’t be seen anywhere else in the world.
