Definition
Individuals who study animals and wildlife, their origin, behavior, diseases and life processes. Some experiment with live animals in controlled or natural surroundings, while others dissect dead animals in order to study their structure. They also may collect and analyze biological data to determine the environmental effects of current and potential use of land and water areas. Zoologists usually are identified by the animal group studied and include ornithologists (birds), mammalogists (mammals), entomologists (insects), herpetologists (reptiles) and ichthyologists (fish).
