Zoology

Do you love animals? Do you love Science? Well then have you ever considered being a zoologist? Zoology means the study of animals. There are many jobs that you can choose to pursue in zoology. Some include Aquarium, Aviculture, Mammals, animal training, research, veterinary care, and animal support. As an Aquarium zoologist, you have to take care of fishes, amphibians, invertebrates, and reptiles. If you want to be a member of the Aquarium department then you should like to scuba dive and be near fish. The job that requires the most science as a zoologist would be research. Jobs in the research department include Research Biologist, Geneticist, Field Biologist, Registrar, and Behaviorist. The main duties a Research Biologist must do is to plan, perform, and report experiments of the behavior of animals. Field Biologists research wildlife outside of the Zoo. Geneticists studies animals DNA. Registrars records information about birth rates and deaths. Behaviorists observe how animals interact and breed. Another field in zoology is a Veterinarian. A Veterinarian takes care of pet animals and works in what is like a pet hospital. So now that I have given you the overview of the job, the job that I would pursue would be in the Veterinarian field of Zoology. The main reason for my choice is, because I have an abundance of love for mammals. To be in the mammal field you have to love to interact with animals, which I enjoy. My goal is to help animals all over the world stay safe from abusers. The above information was found at THIS website. The below picture was found at a Animal Medical Center.

“Veterinarians diagnose and treat diseases and dysfunctions of animals.” said by the United States Department of Labor. Veterinarians treat pets, horses, and animals in Zoos. 77% of Vets treat pets. Being a Vet means you will have to treat injuries, find ways to cure diseases, and find diseases on animals that can spread to humans. This job appeals to me, because I love animals and I’d like to help them stay safe from abusers. I’d also like to reach my goal of putting an end to puppy mills, and Veterinarians help with that. I would like to work with small to medium sized animals such as my dog. Not too long ago, a Veterinarian from Everett, Washington helped save dozens of animals from kennels in Mount Vernon to help them get healthy again. I am hoping that when I get older that I can do that too. Below is a picture of one of the animals the veterinarians and volunteers rescued.
