Some Zoologists will spend much of their time in a research lab, while others may work out in the field. They may collect specimens and samples from animals in their natural habitats to study environmental effects, life cycles or disease.
What is a Zoologist?
A zoologist studies the origins, genetics, diseases, life progression, and behaviours of animals. A zoologist's knowledge is key in preserving natural habitats, protecting endangered species, and managing wildlife's adjustment to our ever-changing climate.
There are a variety of avenues a zoologist can choose to take in this field, and many specialties one can branch into. To date, there are more than 1.3 million animal species identified, so it is not surprising that zoology is a very broad field.
A zoologist may devote their entire career to the study of one specific species or group of species, or work can be more generalized. They can choose to study animals either in their natural environment, or in captivity in zoos and aquariums.
