The study of animals is known as zoology. This branch of biological science focuses on the classification, behavior, physiology, and distribution of animal species. Zoologists conduct research to understand various aspects of animal life, including their ecological roles, evolutionary history, and interactions with ecosystems. The field encompasses numerous specializations, such as animal anatomy, ethology (behavior), and conservation. Zoologists may work in various environments, including laboratories, zoos, and wildlife reserves, contributing valuable insights that aid in biodiversity conservation and the understanding of life's complexities on Earth.
