Default What is Zoology?


What is Zoology?:
Biology is the study of life. The word comes from the Greek roots “bios,” meaning “life,” and “logos,” meaning “study.” The subset of biology that deals specifically with the study of animals is zoology (from the Greek “zoon,” meaning “animal.”)

So, to properly understand what zoology is, we must first understand what an “animal” is. That brings us to the disciplines of systematics and taxonomy.
