History
The museum was originally established in 1928 during the Japanese rule. In the early days, recording of fauna in Taiwan and its neighboring areas such as Asia and Hainan was the major purpose of its collections. As time passed by, rodents and fishes became the main collection targets. In recent years, the collections expanded to include earthworms, bats, shrews, larval fishes etc.[3]
