Pakistan Museum of Natural History

When you enter here with a ticket, you will encounter an elephant and a giraffe in one room. Different types of bones and skulls from different stages of human evolution are also present on different shelves. It is an interesting experience for anyone with a keen interest in evolutionary biology to see these ancient sequentially arranged fossils. And behind the shelf are pictures of the changes that have taken place in human society over time. These images are giving language to these bones in the form of a pictorial story. Anyone interested in natural history can spend hours in this small museum.
On the second floor of the museum is the Dinosaur Gallery. In which you can see the biggest dinosaur of the famous movie Jurassic Park T Rex. Standing in front with an open mouth. When you look at it, if you imagine the time millions of years ago, you get scared. The same gallery houses sculptures of different species of birds and their eggs. A chart hanging on a wall shows how all the birds in the world today are a kind of dinosaur.
A whale shark found off the coast of Sindh Province, Pakistan. It is now display in the Fish Gallery on the third floor.

Its fossils were discovered in 1908 in Dera Bugti area of Balochistan province, hence the name Baloch Therium. It was one of the largest mammals on our planet.
