The biology section introduces us to the world of molluscs with their incredible curiosities, while the Paleontology Hall helps us to understand how the Earth was formed, introducing some invertebrates of the distant past.

In the bio-geographical halls, each showcase reconstructs the fauna and life habits of each sea, and more: it is possible to discover unusual environments such as dangerous mangroves and areas in the furthest depths of the ocean, and get to know nice land snails of decidedly extra-large size and marine predators with deadly venom.

Malakos also hosts the reconstruction of a barrier reef, made up of materials coming from seizures by the State Forestry Corps, with species most visitors have never seen before.
