Zoo Biology

Zoo biology is the scientific study of animals in captivity, focusing on their behavior, health, reproduction, and habitat needs. It combines biology, ecology, and animal management to ensure animals are well-cared for while promoting conservation and research. Zoo biologists monitor animal welfare, develop enrichment programs to stimulate natural behaviors, and support breeding programs for endangered species. The field aims to improve understanding of animals, improve captive care, and contribute to conservation efforts globally. It plays a vital role in educating the public and fostering awareness about biodiversity and environmental issues.
