The red ribbon concludes his journey with the zoology: a space where live the tortoise and the armadillo, insidious reptiles, the moose and the tiger. In the background hall stands a resin wall showing stratigraphic column "Villafranchiano", from the Pliocene to the Pleistocene, the area of Asti. This reconstruction tells a glance its evolution, going over 5 million years. We thus discover that a warm sea, where whales were swimming and Sirenia, covered the Po Plain.
