G'day dopeydora,

Thank you for your question.

Zoology is the biological discipline which involves the study of animals.

The word zoology comes from Greek Ζωο, zoo ("animal"), and λογος, -logy ("the study of").

I have attached sources for your reference.

Regards

Seriously, zoology coming from the word "zoo'" itself is selfexplanatory. Zoology is the study of the animals

(m)

Zoology is the study of animal life. It covers areas ranging from the structure of organisms to the subcellular unit of life. Some zoologists are interested in the biology of particular groups of animals. Others are concerned with the structure and function of animal bodies. Still others study how new animals are formed and how their characteristics are passed on from one generation to another. Zoologists study the interactions of animals with one another and their environments, and the significance of the behavior of animals.

Zoology is both descriptive and analytical. It can be approached either as a basic science or as an applied science. A worker in basic zoology is interested in knowledge of animals for its own sake without consideration of the direct application of the information gained. In contrast, workers in applied zoology are interested in information which will directly benefit humans; medicine is an example.

Zoology is the biological discipline which involves the study of animals.

The word zoology comes from Greek Ζωο, zoo ("animal"), and λογος, -logy.

Zoology is the scientific study of all aspects of animal biology, from the cell to populations. This encompasses a knowledge, not only of the structure and function of different species, but also of the complex relationships which govern the way in which animals relate to each other and to their surroundings. It provides an integrated view of all biological levels from the gene to the organism.

Zoology provides fundamental knowledge relating to three areas of concern to society, namely the environment and its conservation, food production, and human and animal health. There is a growing awareness of environmental issues, including the conservation of wildlife, to which all zoologists contribute at all levels from research to policy making. Zoological research is also important in relation to food products and their pests, while studies on a range of animals provide a basis for medical biology.

To understand zoology, lets me inform you divide this word into two parts.Zoology=zoion +logos."zoion" means animal and "logos" means science or study here.So zoology is science of animal.Isn't it simple?

Anything with an ology at the end means"the study of" something and if you read the first part of the word, in this case zoo it will give you a clue to the answer! ;0)
