      Zoologists study everything to do with animals, both those that are living today but also those that ave gone extinct. They study the evolution of animals, their structure, their classification, their behaviour and their habitats.

      If you are interested in zoology, I recommend you look at this web page from the National Careers Service which gives you lots of information about what begin a zoologist is like and what kind of jobs you can expect to do.

      You can also learn more about the work that zoologist do through the Institute of Zoologists, their website has lots of really good information :)!
