This permanent exhibition in the Natural Sciences Pavilion provides insight into the fauna of the cave, a habitat type with specific ecological conditions, including increased humidity, darkness, and minimal seasonal temperature variations. Cave-dwelling animals  have mechanisms of adapting to such living conditions: the absence or complete atrophy of sight, an absence of pigment, and an extremely well-developed sense of touch.<\/p>\n

As there are a large number of caves in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the cave fauna is highly diverse. One of the most famous and fauna-rich caves in the country is Vjetrenica in Popovo Polje. Over 100 species have been recorded there, including 35 species of troglobionts (cave-dwelling creatures) that were first discovered in Vjetrenica. The exhibition depicts the ambience of a cave, and on display are representative specimens of some notable species, such as the famous olm (Proteus anguinus<\/em>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26439,"template":"","section":[],"class_list":["post-26438","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nCave Fauna - Zemaljski muzej BiH<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/zemaljskimuzej.ba\/en\/exhibitions\/cave-fauna\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cave Fauna - Zemaljski muzej BiH\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This permanent exhibition in the Natural Sciences Pavilion provides insight into the fauna of the cave, a habitat type with specific ecological conditions, including increased humidity, darkness, and minimal seasonal temperature variations.
