"Dangerous Creatures" Special Moves = The "Serious" Power to Survive in a World of Survival of the Fittest
TBS Gloudia will be holding a special exhibition, "Extremely Dangerous Creatures: Tackling the Serious Nature of Living Creatures with Science," at the National Museum of Nature and Science (Ueno Park, Tokyo) from Saturday, March 14, 2026 to Sunday, June 14, 2026.
This exhibition introduces "dangerous creatures" – creatures whose ecology and abilities sometimes pose a threat to humans – and elucidates their hidden "special moves" from a scientific perspective. There are many creatures on Earth that possess incredible abilities or "special moves" for the purpose of "eating" or "protecting themselves."
The "Extremely Dangerous Creatures Exhibition" focuses on the "special moves" of "dangerous creatures" that humans cannot defeat, and uses the power of science to uncover their secrets, from the amazing ecology of dangerous creatures that you may not know about to the hidden dangers of familiar creatures.
The exhibits at the Dangerous Creatures Research Institute, which is made up of eight laboratories, will stimulate your intellectual curiosity about the mystery and depth of life, and allow you to experience the power of dangerous creatures.
Welcome to the Secret Dangerous Biology Laboratory!
[Highlights]
1. The trunk of an African elephant, which generates its incredible strength, is recreated in 3D using anatomy and the latest holographic technology!
② Enlarging dangerous microscopic creatures such as ticks and chiggers! Uncovering their secrets through science
3. The internal power generation mechanism of organisms that use electricity as a weapon is now fully visible using the latest transparent specimen technology!
4. We've carefully selected and showcased some of the most dangerous creatures and their killer moves from over 40 years of rare footage filmed across five continents and seven oceans!
■Area A "Human attack type dangerous creatures"
We will introduce creatures that use their own bodies as the ultimate weapon.
Lab 1: Power Fighter Type
Giant creatures such as African elephants and green anacondas. Discover the overwhelming power they generate.
Lab 2: Killer Bite Type
Tigers, great white sharks, and other wild animals that use their sharp fangs to kill their prey are all gathered together! Which creature has the strongest bite?
Lab 3: Weapon Type
Sharp horns, claws, thorns, scissors, hammers, and even saws. We take a closer look at the mysteries of dangerous creatures whose body parts can be used as weapons.
Lab 4: Swarm
At first glance, they may look like small insects or fish, but when they gather in groups, they swallow everything and become a tremendous threat.
■Area B "Special attack type dangerous creatures"
We will introduce creatures that have special abilities that go beyond physical attacks and that humans cannot imitate.
Lab 5: Highly toxic type
Scientific analysis of the toxins found in various organisms, from insects and reptiles to mammals.
Lab 6: Chemical Attack Type
These creatures have special moves that are like something out of a chemistry experiment, such as powerful farts, 100°C hot gas, and highly acidic gastric juices.
Lab 7: Electric Type
Creatures such as electric eels use electricity as a weapon. Their amazing power generation mechanisms are on display in special transparent specimens.
Lab 8: Bloodsucking
This book clearly explains not only how blood-sucking creatures work, but also the dangers of infectious diseases they transmit.
