Have you ever had to go out into the wild and watch animals for hours and sometimes days? When you are a zoologist and a wildlife biologist you will have to study the animals in their natural habitat. It has been one of the things that I have liked to do the most and that is watching animals do what they do in a day. It is like going to the zoo ,but you are not having to go out into the wild of their natural habitat to find out more about the animals. You don’t read the signs in the zoo you get as close as you can to the animal and you study it. What a zoologist/wildlife biologist does is he/she goes out and studies the behaviors, personalities and the characteristics of the the animal that you are studying.
What zoologists/wildlife biologists do is they spend time out collecting data and analyzing animals in their native area (“Zoologists” para. 2). They also study the impact of the people to the natural habits of the animals (“Zoologists” para. 8). One thing that they do is they gather and study the animals (“Zoologists” para. 8). Zoologists and wildlife biologists do is they examine animals and different wildlife with the way they communicate with other parts of their ecosystem (“Zoologists” para. 1). Some reasons why they do all of those experiments is to further their knowledge, and to also help protect the animals (“Zoologists” para. 12). They also watch the animals so they don’t burst out with diseases (“Zoologist/Wildlife” para. 10). They have also done scientific tests for research (“Zoologists” para. 10). What they help to do is create biofuels, cures for diseases, and sometimes try to increase crop yield (“Zoologist and” para. 6). When you are working out in the field, you will have to be physically shape because y...

...it can be relentless to your body and mind. Basically what Zoologists/Wildlife Biologists are trying to do is to make sure that the animals and environment survive and come out unscathed by the humans.

For my Mid-Term, I have decided to write about one of the greatest pitchers of all times. His name is Lynn Nolan Ryan Jr. most people know him as Nolan Ryan. He pitched in the Major League from 1967- 1993. He was born on January 31, 1947 in Refugio, Texas. He was the final child of six. He grew up on a street called Dezso Drive in Alvin, Texas. He delivered a paper called the “The Houston Post.” This route was 55 miles long, and so that he could finish, he had to wake up at one and start delivering these papers because his father wanted him to have some responsibility. This would take him four hours to complete.
It is important to have zoologists around, not only for animals but for humans also. Humans need to have the knowledge about animals to comprehend what goes on in the environmental issues that happens around them everyday.
This can be answered in Frans. B.W. de Waal’s essay, “The Pitfalls of not Knowing the Whole Animal,” where Waal emphasizes on why humans should connect with animals emotionally in order to truly understand the animal. He compares the ridiculous claims that some scientists made about an animal based on what they know about other animals in general, but they never once tried to connect with the animal. Scientists that had worked with animals for a while understands that “care of their subjects is a round-the-clock business,” and not something that can be done half-heartedly (247). Waal acknowledges that, “only those scientists who try to learn everything there is to know about a particular animal have any chance of unlocking its secrets” (252).
Veterinarians uses medicine to diagnose, treat diseases and dysfunction of animals. Medicine used such as antibiotics and vaccines. A veterinarian’s role in their career is to help and serve also trying to find a new treatment to disorders for humans and animals. Some vets teach other people or other vets how to do something.
As a kid, many people think about what they want to do when they grow up. Maybe they wanted to be a princess or the president; whereas some people may want to be zoologists. Zoologists get to work with animals while conducting experiments, research, and observations. Traveling is a large part of a zoologist’s job. They get to travel to research animals that are not in the area. Becoming a zoologist requires working with animals, doing research, and traveling.
To be on the road for long periods of time is not meant for everyone to experience. Only a few can stay on the road and function normally. Living in the wild is not healthy especially for our generation who, for the most part, does not know much about living in the wild. When you search up the definition of wildlife it comes up as "wild animals collectively; the native Fonda of a region". Wildlife is another way of living however, when our generation has become accustomed to living one type of lifestyle, living on the road or in the wild is not something that can be easily done. Not only is our generation used to living that type of way also the way our society looks at things to live in the wild and on the road is completely unethical. Even though it is possible to live out in the wild Chris Mccandles is a great example on why people should not be on the road. Living on the road is completely difficult and not only does it take a strong-minded and determined person to do it also takes physically strong person to
Veterinarians diagnose animal health problems. They vaccinate against diseases. They also treat wounds and medicate suffering animals with infections. They examine animals and determine what disease or infection they might have. They also educate people on diseases that can spread from animals to humans. Some of the medical equipment they use are stethoscopes, surgical instruments and diagnostic equipment. Some veterinarians work with human scientists to help research ways to treat various human health problems. (How to Become a Veterinarian.)
Dr. Dave Hone (2014) proudly honors the title of being in the pro-zoo camp. Hone was a volunteer for a number of years at two different zoos and is able to identify zoos as being more than just a collection of animals (Hone, 2014, para. 2) He firsthand witnessed the importance of how conservation assists with preventing species from going extinct, the role education plays to inform many children and adults along with the guidance research shares to help better understand wildlife (Hone, 2014). In order to ensure that wild animals receive maximum care it is crucial to gain beneficial knowledge from research. In addition to understanding animal breeding through research, zoo officials are able to learn how to prevent and cure a variety of animal diseases. Education is another positive resource that zoos have to offer. There is always the option to learn about wild animals through animal documentaries, however many people enjoy a prominent up-close personal
Every year, the zoo offers a number of classes to volunteers and students that are based solely on the handling of their animals, how people can help in the world, and can put people face-to-face with the animals to form a bond. The zoo has 126 animals that are used to aide in educational demonstrations, and this is in addition to the animals they show in the exhibits. Annually the zoo educates approximately 215,000 people with nearly 80.5 thousand hours of volunteer service provided. Their education system is important to the health of all their animals because it displays the time and effort dedicated to the care of the animals they have there. They also conduct daily exercises and training with the animals to make sure they are receiving enough exercise. A large chunk of all funding that the zoo receives go directly to the buying of food for the animals. They all eat different types of food sources to maintain healthy diets that relate to what they would consume in their original habitat. The zoo pushes the community, and it’s researchers/vets/trainers to all become invested and well-educated in the study of animal
A zoologist has an extremely long list of duties, fieldwork, and studies they must finish during their career (“Occupation Profile: Zoologists and Wildlife Biologists”). Although they must study all biological organisms that they may encounter, a zoologist has the option of branching off into a specified field they would want to study further or even specialize in (“Zoology”). For example, a mammalogist is a zoologist who is specialized in the study of mammals, and a ichthyologist is one who specializes in the study of fish (Storer and Usinger). One of the branches that have become popular is ornithology, the study of birds (Perrins and Harrison). A zoologist must also study the life histories, family trees, genetics, diseases, development, and migra...
Zoos are public parks that claim to display animals for the purpose of education and procreation of endangered species; but in reality Zoos area actually doing more harm than good. Animals that live in zoos are more likely to suffer from illness or injury as opposed to those who live in the wild, and they also have shorter lifespans.
A Veterinarian Researcher does many tests, and supervises the production of drugs, chemicals, and biological products to better the lives of animals.
Ever wonder about the different animals around the world? Ever wonder about their behaviors and features? This all has to do with zoology. Zoology is defined as the branch of biology devoted to the animals. Zoology can be viewed as a series of efforts to analyze and classify animals. Zoology basically explains everything having to do with the entire animal population. Zoology in an important field in the science world because it helps to explain all the different studies of animals.
However, educational benefits zoos provide are minimal because animals are in their unnatural environment and behave differently. In his book Wild Animals in Captivity, Rob Laidlaw describes how animal behavior at zoos is completely different from behavior in natural environments. Small spaces and boredom leads to frustration and repetitive actions, such as a monkey rocking back and forth continuously. Laidlaw writes, “At many of the zoos I visit, I see animals doing things their species never do in the wild” (Laidlaw 9). Therefore, what an individual observes at the zoo is untrue to the animal’s natural behavior and the educational experience is false. Moreover, there would be more of an educational benefit from watching documentaries about animals in the wild or reading books on how certain species behave and interact. Even though zoos provide up close interaction with animals, they lack the ability to educate visitors on how animals truly behave. Additionally in a study that further undermines the educational value of zoos, Eric Jenson’s “Evaluating Children 's Conservation Biology Learning at the Zoo” examines the before and after effects surrounding children’s (ages 7-15) knowledge of animals and conservation. He found that the standard unguided zoo experience resulted in negative understanding of animals and their habitats. Only when children were lead by a guide where they more likely to
There are various aspects and specialties in the study of animal science. When looking at animal science as a broad study, it can seem quite amature. Once the break down begins and all the different aspects of animal science, it gets overwhelming and too hard to grasp. Luckily scientists have their areas of specialties and are able to work together to bring us the comprehensive knowledge we have today. Everyone is tied to agriculture, whether they realize it or not. We would not be here if it was not for agriculture. Agriculture provides our jobs, shelter, clothing, food, etc. Animal Science takes those simple categories and advances
