The New Brunswick Museum’s zoology collections highlight the remarkable diversity of animal life in Atlantic Canada and beyond. Since the 19th century, naturalists and researchers have built extensive holdings of mammals, birds, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates, creating an essential record of biodiversity.
Today, the collection includes hundreds of thousands of specimens, many with associated photographs, tissues, and sound recordings. These materials provide critical insights into species distribution, population change, and conservation challenges.
Supporting scientific research, public exhibitions, and education, the zoology collections continue to grow, offering a deeper understanding of life on Earth and the interconnectedness of all species.
