- 1. Zoology is the branch of biology that focuses on the study of animals and their behavior, structure, physiology, development, and classification. Zoologists seek to understand the diversity of animal life, from microscopic single-celled organisms to complex multicellular organisms. By studying animals in their natural habitats or in controlled environments, zoologists aim to uncover the patterns and processes that govern animal life on Earth. Through research and observation, zoologists contribute to our understanding of evolution, ecology, and conservation, as well as to the development of new medical treatments and technologies inspired by nature.
