Definition and Nature of the Work

Zoologists are biological scientists who study animals. They observe animals both in their natural habitats and in the laboratory in order to learn as much as possible about animal life. Zoologists study the origin and development of animal species, the habits and behavior of animals, and the interaction between animals and their environment. They also do research to learn how animal diseases develop and how traits are passed from generation to generation.

Zoologists are sometimes known as animal scientists or animal biologists. Their field is zoology, or animal biology. Like botany and microbiology, zoology is a major division of biology. Zoology is a broad field. It includes the study of animals as varied as elephants, kangaroos, and killer sharks. Zoologists work in all areas of animal life, studying both simple and complex processes. For example, a zoologist might examine the overall structure of a cat or just the microscopic cells in its brain. Zoologists study the life functions of a single animal, such as an insect, as well as the behavior of whole colonies of ants, flocks of birds, or bands of gorillas.

Most zoologists are employed by colleges and universities where they teach and do research. Large numbers of zoologists work for government agencies in such areas as wildlife management, conservation, and agriculture. A few work for private companies, such as pharmaceutical companies or biological supply houses that sell animal specimens to laboratories. Some zoologists are employed by museums and zoos.

Although their jobs may differ widely, most zoologists spend at least part of their time doing research or laboratory work. They dissect and examine animal specimens. They prepare slides so that they can observe such things as diseased tissue and chemical reactions under light or electron microscopes. Since they often perform experiments with animals, many zoologists keep laboratory animals, such as mice, fruit flies, and guinea pigs. They may breed these animals, raise their offspring under controlled conditions, or test the effects of drugs on them. Some zoologists observe animals in their natural habitats. These zoologists study mating practices, aggression, life histories, and the group behavior of animals. Zoologists may make use of computerized information as well as a wide variety of special laboratory equipment and scientific methods. They are sometimes assisted by biological technicians.

Zoologists often specialize in the study of one group of animals. For example, ichthyologists concentrate on the fish family. Some ichthyologists provide basic knowledge about fish. They classify fish according to species and study their distribution, size, and growth. They also study the behavior of fish, including migration patterns and feeding habits. Some specialize in one group of fish, such as sharks. Others work with one aspect of fish, such as their anatomy. Ichthyologists serve as fish experts on museum staffs or sometimes write books on the identification of fish. Most teach and do research in colleges and universities. Other zoologists working with fish concentrate on fish that have economic or recreational uses. These scientists are often called fishery biologists. They may work with trout in state fish hatcheries or do research on fish that have commercial uses, such as tuna, cod, or salmon. Zoologists also specialize in other groups of animals. Herpetologists, for example, are experts on reptiles, frogs, and salamanders. Entomologists study insects.

Some zoologists specialize in one area of animal life that may cover many species. Animal taxonomists, for example, identify and classify the many different species of animals. Animal physiologists examine the life processes of animals. They do research on their growth, movement, reproduction, respiration, circulation, and other functions. They also study how the environment of animals affects their life processes and functions. Embryologists focus on the early growth of animals from their beginning as a fertilized cell to their birth or hatching. There are many other kinds of zoologists.

Education and Training Requirements

You generally need a doctoral degree to become a zoologist. You should major in zoology or biology as an undergraduate. In graduate school, you may want to specialize in genetics, embryology, or another area in animal science. Graduates with a bachelor's degree can get some jobs, such as advanced biological technician, but their opportunities for advancement are limited. People who have earned a master's degree in zoology or a related field are qualified for some jobs as teachers or research assistants. You usually need a doctoral degree, however, to get a job teaching and doing research at a university or working as an administrator. It usually takes four years to earn a bachelor's degree and another one or two years to earn a master's degree. You need to go to school for an additional two or three years to receive a doctoral degree. In order to keep up with new developments in animal science, you should continue to study throughout your career.

Getting the Job

Your professors or college placement office may be able to help you find a job in zoology. You can apply directly to colleges and universities, zoos, and museums or private companies. You can also check with government agencies about getting work in research, conservation, inspection, management, or another special area. You sometimes need to pass a civil service examination to get a government job. Other sources of job openings include the classified ads in newspapers and professional journals.

Advancement Possibilities and Employment Outlook

Advancement opportunities are good, especially for zoologists who have a doctoral degree. Zoologists can become project leaders or research directors. Those who work in zoos and museums can become administrators or head curators. Zoologists working for the government can advance to such positions as head of a state fishery or national wildlife refuge. Zoologists employed in colleges and universities can advance to the rank of full professor. Another way that a zoologist can advance is by becoming recognized as an authority in one area of animal science. This kind of recognition generally comes to zoologists who have done important research and have published their findings in professional journals.

Employment of biological scientists in general is projected to grow about as fast as average for all occupations through 2014. There will continue to be demand for zoologists, but opportunities will be limited because of the small size of this field. However, due to public interest in preserving the environment and protecting many species of animals, federal and state governments are devoting more funds to research in animal science. The work of zoologists is also important in finding cures for diseases and improving food supplies. There will probably be openings for trained experts who can contribute to the solution of such problems. Competition for jobs teaching in universities, however, is expected to be keen.

Working Conditions

The working conditions of zoologists vary widely. Some zoologists spend much of their time in clean, well-lighted, well-equipped laboratories. Others work outdoors, observing wildlife and perhaps making do with improvised equipment. Many zoologists spend some of their time in offices and classrooms. Their working hours are generally flexible but often total more than forty hours per week. Some experiments and projects need to be observed around the clock. Therefore, zoologists may work rotating shifts. Zoologists often spend extra time attending meetings, writing up their findings, or reading to learn about the findings of other scientists.

Zoologists sometimes work independently. At other times they work as part of a scientific team. They must be able to cooperate with and communicate their ideas to other people. They should also be interested in animals and willing to spend many hours working with them or doing research on them. They need to use careful, precise methods in their work.

Earnings and Benefits

Earnings for zoologists depend on their education and experience, as well as the location and the kind of job. In 2004 the median annual income of zoologists was $50,330. In 2005 zoologists who worked for the federal government in nonsupervisory, supervisory, and managerial positions earned an average salary of $101,601. Benefits generally include paid holidays and vacations, insurance, and retirement plans.

Well, I am a Freshman in high school and I am not really sure what I want to be yet, but it's something along the lines of a vet or a zookeeper. I want to work in a zoo or some type of environment where I can interact with the animals and feed them, etc. But, I want to get paid a reasonable amount of money, like $80,000 per year. Here's the catch: I want to work with exotic animals ONLY!!! I want to be the one to feed, exercise, and play with the animals. My favorite animal is a tiger so I might want to specialize in large felines. I want to know what my job title would be, how much I would get paid, and most importantly what college courses I would have to take and how long I would have to go to college. Please email me if you have any information whatsoever on the subject.

I'm a high school biology teacher and currently working on a MA in Zoology through Miami University of Ohio. Suggestions for those of you entering college would be as the article suggests...work on attaining a BA in a broad scientific field like Biology, in which you could take anatomy, physiology, or zoology classes. As a grad student you could then work on a MA or MS in zoology or more focused scientific field within zoology. One school I suggest, at least for individuals involved in education after completing their BA, is the school I currently attend. A program, the Global Field Program, allows you to attain a MA while traveling the world. As part of my first class, I just returned from studying in Belize for 10 days! Not all just fun, but a lot of work...and well worth it!

Hay, My name is Kelsey Lopez and I am 17. I am looking into either Zoology or Marine Biology but both I love very much. I have been reading animal books since I was 4. I have also retained a massive amount of knowledge from Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, And the National Geographic Channel since I was 4. I love the fact that you can travel around the world and study animals and there habitats in which they live in. I have a broad knowledge of animals and if I do become a Zoologist, then I want to go down into South America to study one of the most rarest eagles on earth, the Harpy Eagle. If there is any colleges in Texas that offer good Zoology courses then please let me know.

Thank you :)

Hey guys just found this page when i was bored and just want to say to you's all the zoology is a fantastic job, especially if you like animals. i already have my master but and i am studying towards getting my doctoral degree. I choose to specialise in wolves, lions, monkeys and zebras. My choices are random unlike other students who studies one whole species ie big cat/primates. I study all other aspects of the course aswell but these animals are my favourite and the ones i want to work with most. The pay for the job is good and the work is very enjoyable. The area is limited for jobs in "active wild work" but they are shouting out for people in "active lab work". This is just as enjoyable and you get a little more hands on experence. The area of zoology has is many sub unit courses so i recommend studying 2 or 3 in your first 2 years and then either continue with all of them or choose 1 or 2 to finish. This allows more options for you and makes your course work more enjoyable. Hope this little note helps some of you. >sorry for any spelling mistakes its late and am tired.

I am currently a zoology major in Kansas and am in my 3rd year. It is a very long and difficult road to a zoology degree, but I also work at a zoo, and am told by many of my keeper friends that it is very worth it to be in school for the length needed. Some of the classes required where I go to school, which I am told is more than others, are mammalogy (mammals), ornithology (birds), a combination of ichthyology (fish), herpetology (reptiles/amphibians), entomology (insects), plant taxonomy (yes, you have to take a plant class, even though you're an animal major) and a few others. Ok, A LOT of others. It is a wonderfully informative major, but you MUST be dedicated to it, or else you will not make it through. I see that most of you are still in high school. Take chemistry classes, biology classes, whatever you can, while still in high school. This will save you a lot of headache when you get to your first year. You will have a lot of general education classes you will want to get over with, but you will want those around when all you have left are biology classes. That is what is happening with me. My next semester looks like this: Genetics (lecture with a 3 hour lab), Ecology (lecture with 3 hour lab), and Ichthyology (also with 3 hour lab). I also have a chemistry class. It is not going to be easy, but it will be worth it in the end when I am taking care of the primates at one of my favorite zoos :) There are many jobs in the biology area that you can get with a basic general biology degree (if your university of choice offers it). Check out biologyjobs.com, or science-jobs.org. Also, look into getting an intership before you hit the job field. This will boost your resume IMMENSELY! Hope this helps you youngsters! Good luck! :) --Genna

I'm currently 15 and live in Spokane, Washington. We're supposed to research jobs that we're interested in for AVID. Are there any colleges nearby that would offer a chance to major in zoology, or would I have to travel long distance? I'm also curious about one other thing. Would a zoologist have a choice between doing fieldwork or lab-work, or is that up to the employer? I would love to track and observe animals, but I'm not fond of poring over reports and genetic spreadsheets in a laboratory. Thank you so much for the helpful information on this site. I'm a lot better informed now. ~Melissa

Im a high school senor and i want to become a vet but i like all sorts of animals so i was thinking about zoology, but the school im going to apply for doesnt offer it as a major. Im pretty much having the same problems as Kayla from a few days ago. Is there any difference if i majored in biology sciences? Or what should i major in if i were to transfer to another school for vet courses or zoology courses? thanks Brandon

Hi. Im about to be a freshman in college and I originally wanted to become a marine biologist but im not sure if that's really what I should get into because really I would just like to study and observe Penguins. So would it be better to get a degree in zoology or getting a degree in marine biology? I wouldn't mind being a trainer at a zoo or sea world, but my dream is to go to Antartica to do researh on them observing them in their own world. Over all I just love Pernguins and that's what I want my specialty to be. If you could give me any information on this it would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

I'm a sophmore in high school and I know I want to work with animals when I grow up but I'm not sure what career path to choose. I have a few favorites such as a marine biologist, zoologist, marine mammal veterinarian, and a marine mammal specialist. I love to travel so I was wondering if any jobs that have to do with animals involve traveling. Thank you for taking the time to read this! Sarah

thanks for the great website. i have been to so many of them trying to find some good information and this one seems to have it.i just got out of high school and i am still not sure what to do. it seems that zoology might be great for me. i wanted a career with animals where i could take care/rehabilate animals and also being able to observe them in their environment.i am not really into the whole lab thing,unless it is necessary. is zoology right for me or is their another career in mind?? if it is the right career do u think i should get me associate or master degree? thanks for the help

Hi, I know whoever reads all of these probably reads the same thing over and over but thank you for dedicating your time to it. I am also going to be a senior in high school and want to work with animals. I have a GPA of about 3.7 or 3.8, taking AP Biology courses and got a 1690 on my SAT, but I am unsure of what field to go into. I have always wanted to be a small animal vet but would also like to work around wolves and other wildlife. The closest school in VA that could help me is VA Tech and I would like to know if my grades are good enough to get in there and what path would be the right one for me. Thank you again for the advice!

Hello, i am going to be a senior and i am struggling trying to find out more information about the field of zoology. I have so many questions. Can you pick one specific animal to work with, for exmple polar bears, giant pandas, orangutans? Are you able to pick where you want to work, i would be more interested in working in a wildlife refuge camp and working hands on with animals instead of working in a lab.What type of classes would you take? Is there a great demand for zooligists today? Or is it hard to get a job in this field? What is the salary? How many years of schooling would you need? I hope you can answer my questions. Thank you

Hey mike, I am currently going to school for zoology. I am not the greatest student ever. Infact I am terrible at math. A lot of people tell me that I should switch majors and find something else. But I too love animals and can think of nothing better than becoming a zoologist. I am currently a junior and half way there so I think that if I can do it, even with my math problems, that you should not settle for second best and be the zoologist you want to be.

Hello! I am a freshman in college and all my life I've wanted to be a vet. During my first year of college I worked as a vterinary technician in an animal emergency clinic and loved it but after conversing with the several vets I have worked with I don't think I would find the work satisfactory. My new found love is the mysterious creatures of the ocean. I checked into marine biology and I am just wondering if there is more oppertunity in obtaining a title in zoology and specailizing in marine life rather than a title in biology and specializing in marine life. I'm just not sure. And also if you had any insight on a governmental job versus a private company or university employment. I'd really appriciate your opinion! Thanks so much!!!

I love spending time with animals, I have 3 dogs a cat and some chickens and rosters, I play with them all the time and take my dogs out for walks. But I always think about what it would be like meeting wil animals you don't see everyday and saving them when they need help. I Love Animals, they are family to me. But I have a question, If you get an animal who doesn't have a family and can't survive in the wild and it's a baby, can I take it home and take care of it until it can go on it's own??

hi my name is isaiah, and I have so far been in field of culinary arts. I enjoy but most of the time I always catch myself wondering about animals in lots of different ways. For example, I often thing of random questions about all different types of animals through out the day. I make sure that I right them down, and when I get a chance I look them up. I also wonder about the biological part of animals as well as animal behavior. I guess what I'm getting at here is I am still only 22 years old with a great mind that wants to be challenged as well as being happy and well stimulated. I feel that zoology might be where I want to go. If you have any suggestions on specific courses I might want to try out, that would be appreciated.

I'm 15 years old and would like to become a zookeeper and i have been around animlas all my life. What should i do in school and outside of school to help me to become a zoologist

about 1 year ago

I'm 16, and I have a few different ranges of careers I wish to be. Either linguist, musician, or this. I love the genetic studies of animals, along with working with animals. My main focus would be working in the marina life aspect of zoologist. I can't not be around water and the animals of the ocean amaze me. This is probably one of the coolest jobs anyone could ever have. I'm taking an advanced biology cource right now (college level), and i think if I get an A in this class, I would have a very good chance in the field of zoologist.

The places you want to go for Zoology are mostly places where you can go for a good vet school... schools that have a lot of funded research are also great places to be because of the work-study opportunities. Michigan State and Ohio State are two good places to look into.
