...Zoology is more than just animals. When I was little I wanted to work with animals. Most knows it’s a lot of work but it’s a lot of fun. They make a good amount of money and get to spend their days with animals. I want to work with animals to help them and see what makes them do what they do and how their brains work. What I would like to learn in a career about zoology, the salary, education needed, and my future outlook. In a career about zoology I would like to learn about how an animal's brain works and they do what they do. “They average salary per hour would be 27.74.” (says http://www.bls.gov) The education needed in order to do this job would be a bachelor’s degree. My job outlook would be to grow 4% but slower than the average occupation....

...your office being the great outdoors and interacting with animals on a daily basis you should consider becoming a zoologist. Zoology is a branch of biology that refers to the animal kingdom, including structure, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct. Zoologist observe animals both in the wild and in laboratories in order to learn as much about them as they can. Because zoology is a very broad field of study one would typically choose a certain type of animal species to observe such as mammals or apes. Zoologist can study things such as the origin, development , behavior and interaction between animals and their environment. Educational Requirements- The minimum requirement to become a zoologist is a bachelor's degree. Some colleges offer 4-year programs focused on general zoology. Courses in these programs may include biology, animal behavior, vertebrate anatomy, physiology , and ecology. To receive a higher level position one would need a master’s or doctoral degree. It takes about 2 years to receive a master’s degree and 6 for a doctoral degree. A doctorate degree would allow you to conduct your own independent research. Recommended courses in high school are biology, chemistry, and physics. Mathematical and writing courses are important as well. Other skills necessary- Some skills significant for zoology are a good understanding of science, good writing and speaking skills (for your reports and observations), monitoring, patience...

...respectively, this paper analysis the influence of Carson on their work and the results of the influence. Like Carson, David Suzuki was also a very famous Zoologist in Canada and the fame that he had was due to the various T.V. shows that he had done in order to promote environment conservation. In his book the ‘Sacred Balance’, he has discussed various issues related to the maintenance of the eco-balance and there is an account of many more which were similar to the ones raised in Carson’s book ‘Silent Springs’. Also, we see that initially there was an abundance of criticism related to technology and declining biological balance in the initial works of David however gradually we can see that the discussions that he does, moves towards the zoology and animals that have been impacted through the rise...

...Francheska Louise D. Valmadrid – Pdent1A 1. Define reading fluency. Fluency (also called volubility and loquaciousness) is the property of a person or of a system that delivers information quickly and with expertise. Reading fluency is the ability to read text accurately, automatically and with appropriate expression. 2. What is note- taking? Note-taking is the practice of recording information captured from another source. By taking notes, the writer records the essence of the information, freeing their mind from having to recall everything.[1] Notes are commonly drawn from a transient source, such as an oral discussion at a meeting, or a lecture (notes of a meeting are usually called minutes), in which case the notes may be the only record of the event. Note taking is a form of self-discipline. 3. What are the appropriate expressions for asking clarification? When you fail to understand what has been said to you you can use these expressions: * I beg your pardon? * I beg your pardon, but I don't quite understand. * I'm not quite sure I know what you mean. * I'm not quite sure I follow you. * I don't quite see what you mean. * I'm not sure I got your point. * Sorry, I didn't quite hear what you said. * Sorry, I didn't get your point. * I don't quite see what you're getting at. When you don't understand what someone has said, you can ask for clarification using the following expressions: * What do you mean by...

...All about Giraffes Stephanie Sprague ITT Technical Institute All about Giraffes Ever wonder about the different animals around the world? Ever wonder about their behaviors and features? This all has to do with zoology. Zoology is defined as the branch of biology devoted to the animals. Zoology can be viewed as a series of efforts to analyze and classify animals. Zoology basically explains everything having to do with the entire animal population. Zoology in an important field in the science world because it helps to explain all the different studies of animals. One important and what I feel is the greatest animal studied in zoology is the giraffe also known as Giraffa camelopardalis. The giraffe is the tallest animal averaging seventeen feet. Giraffes usually weigh about 2,500 lbs. Giraffes along with their extremely tall bodies have tongues usually fifteen inches long. Both sexes have two or four short, blunt, skin-covered horns. The coat has chestnut brown blotches against a brown background, markings that blend with the many different trees. As a giraffe ages, its color grows a darker brown. Each animal has a unique set of markings. Giraffes have keen sense of smell, seeing, and fantastic eyesight. A giraffe’s lifespan is up to twenty-six years in the wild and thirty-six years in captivity. Giraffes live on dry savannas and open woodland. They range south in the Sahara and in large numbers only in East Africa. Giraffes are herbivores, they eat mainly on leaves from acacia...

...Ever wonder about different animals around the world? The way they live? Special features about them? All of this has to do with Zoology. Zoology is defined as the scientific study of the behavior, structure, classification, and distribution of animals. Zoology practically describes everything having to do with an animal. It’s very helpful because it explains all the different structures in distinct studies of animals. One important animal to zoology is the Giraffe. Giraffes usually weigh around 2,500 lbs. They are the tallest mammal in the world averaging to about seventeen feet tall. Along with their tall bodies, giraffes have extremely long tongues which are about fifteen inches long. Giraffes reproduction is quite interesting. Before sexual intercourse, the male tastes the urine of a female to determine if the female is mature enough for reproduction. A male is ready to mate at the age of seven, and for the female, four years old. Usually, on a rainy day giraffes like to mate because the humidity releases the stress out. Unlike a human where women are pregnant for 9 months, a giraffe would be pregnant for 15 months. During labor, the female giraffe would be standing up so it's easier for the calf to come out. When the calf is born it is about 6 feet tall and weighs around 150-200 lbs. Within hours the born calf is able to walk on its own. Growing up 25% of newborns make it to an adult because they are prey to lions, leopards, and hyenas....

He only needed one year of official residence in Chicago before applying for his Ph.D. Two of Just’s articles were accepted for his doctoral thesis, titled “Studies of Fertilization in Platynereis megalops”, and he received his Ph.D. in June (Just, Ernest Everett). Ernest Everett Just explored many topics related to physiology of development such as, experimental parthenogenesis, hydration, fertilization, and cell division (Ernest Everett Just Biography). Throughout his life Just had enrolled in multiple biology and zoology courses and showed promising results and interest in both. Notably at Woods Hole he studied and researched biology and zoology in the summers and even wrote a scientific paper on the division is...

I did not want to sit down in a class and learn of something through secondhand methods, I wanted to experience what was being taught. Sixth grade was the first time I took a designated science class. The class was labeled as an introductory science class, meant to cover most aspects of science, but the teacher focused mainly on biology and earth sciences. My love for biology took root and continued to grow as I had some of the best teachers guiding me.

(Q1) “It was announced to us one evening during dinner. Ravi and I were thunderstruck. Canada!
