Zoology studies

Photo of man on boatIn general, all Zoology specializations involve work with animals, either in the wild or in a lab.

Some Zoologists study the entire organism while other Zoologists study only parts of an organism. Also, Zoology is not merely an observational pastime for natural history buffs; it involves analytical research and experimental laboratory components, just as all other biological sciences do.

As with other disciplines, Zoologists work outdoors in the field and in laboratories using a wide variety of scientific equipment. Some Zoologists conduct field research in remote areas and harsh climates, which can involve strenuous physical activity and primitive living conditions.
