Study animal behavior, ecology, and conservation
Zoologists study the behavior, physiology, genetics, and ecology of animals in the wild or in captivity. They conduct research, manage conservation programs, and work in zoos, wildlife sanctuaries, and research institutions.
You set up camera traps in a national park, analyze population data from a wildlife survey, observe primate behavior at a sanctuary, write a grant proposal for conservation funding, and present findings to a conservation board. Every day connects science to the survival of species.
