The scientific study of animal life is called zoology. This branch of biology encompasses the examination of various aspects of animals, including their behavior, physiology, taxonomy, evolution, and ecology. Zoologists study both invertebrates and vertebrates, exploring their structures, functions, and interactions within ecosystems. Zoology is crucial for understanding biodiversity, conservation efforts, and the role of animals in the environment. This field combines observational studies with experiments and contributes significantly to our knowledge of life sciences and animal welfare, playing an essential role in biodiversity conservation.
