Main areas of zoology

1. Animal groups:
• Vertebrates: animals with a backbone (e.g. fish, birds, mammals).
• Invertebrates: animals without a backbone (e.g. insects, worms, jellyfish).
2. Animal bodies:
• Anatomy: How animals are built (bones, muscles, organs).
• Physiology: How the animal body works (breathing, eating, movement).
3. Animal Behavior: How animals act and why.
• Natural behavior: what animals do in nature.
• Survival skills: How behavior helps animals live and have babies.
4. Animal environment:
• Habitats: Where animals live (forests, oceans, deserts).
• Food chains: who eats who in nature.
5. Animal evolution:
• Changes over time: How animals have changed over millions of years.
• New species: how new species of animals appear.

Key concepts

1. Adaptation: Special traits that help animals survive (e.g., camouflage, sharp claws).
2. Biodiversity: The variety of animals in the world.
3. Conservation: Protect animals and their homes.

Types of Zoologists

1. Marine biologists: study marine animals.
2. Entomologists: study insects.
3. Birdwatchers: Study birds.
4. Herpetologists: study reptiles and amphibians.
5. Mammalogists: study mammals.

Zoology Jobs

2. Zookeeper: takes care of animals in zoos.
3. Veterinarian: Treats sick and injured animals.
4. Conservationist: Works to protect animals and their environment.
5. Scientific researcher: studies animals and their behaviors.
