      Zoology is the study of animals – how they behave, how their bodies work, how they interact with each other and with their environment…
      So exactly what it involves will depend on what type of zoology you do. Some zoologists work in labs, some work out in the field observing whatever animal they are studying, and some do both.

      Zoology is the study of the structure, function and behaviour of animals:

      It involves, like any other science, experiments and observations – but this time with animals! It is extremely broad, and very interesting – and would make a fantastic subject for a career in science.

      Zoology is the study of animals. There are many different types of zoology, so what is involved depends of what you are looking at. A lot of it involves studying animal behavoir. Zoology seems, at least to me, to be one of the best jobs you could have!
