RE: ANIMALS, BIOLOGY, BIODIVERSITY, CONSERVATION, SCIENCE

Zoology is the branch of biology that focuses on the study of animals. It looks at how animals live, behave, grow, reproduce, and interact with their environments. Zoologists study everything from the anatomy and genetics of individual species to the roles animals play in ecosystems.

This field helps us understand biodiversity, evolution, and the impact of climate change or human activity on animal populations. Zoology also contributes to conservation, medicine, agriculture, and environmental policy. Whether examining wildlife in the field or cells in a lab, zoology connects science with efforts to protect the planet’s living creatures.
