How Zoologists Organize Things
Humankind’s fascination with the animal kingdom began as a matter of survival – differentiating the edible from the toxic, the ferocious from the tractable. Since then, our compulsion to catalogue wildlife has played a key role in growing our understanding of the planet and ourselves, inspiring religious beliefs and evolving scientific theories. The book unveils wild truths and even wilder myths about animals, as perpetuated by zoologists – revealing how much more there is to learn, and unlearn.

What Do Zoologists Do?
Many children are animal lovers. What would it mean to turn a passion for animals into a career? Zoologists do just that! Zoology is the scientific study of the animal kingdom. Zoologists spend their time studying animals, observing their behaviors, and analyzing that research. Leading zoologists such as Jane Goodall have changed the way we view animal species. In this engrossing and educational volume, readers will consider what it means to be a zoologist and how zoologists’ work influences our understanding of life on Earth.
Be a Zoologist
People pursuing careers in zoology usually focus on certain groups of animals. Herpetologists study reptiles and amphibians, and entomologists are experts on insects. They don't just work at zoos, either. They're teachers, writers, researchers, and more. Some zoologists work in labs and classrooms, while others travel the oceans and trek over mountains. A deep interest in animals and understanding of biology is needed to succeed in this high-interest career. Animal lovers will enjoy learning about different kinds of animals as well as considering the many facets of this profession.
