you mean ZOOLOGIST
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").
Notable zoologists
Louis Agassiz (malacology, ichthyology)
Aristotle
Pierre Joseph Bonnaterre
Archie Carr (Herpetology, esp. sea turtles)
Georges Cuvier (founder of comparative morphology)
Charles Darwin (formulated modern theory of evolution)
Richard Dawkins (ethology)
Dian Fossey (primatology)
Arthur David Hasler (limnology, ichthyology, salmon homing)
Victor Hensen (planktology)
Libbie Hyman (invertebrate zoology)
Steve Irwin (herpetology)
William Kirby (father of entomology)
Carolus Linnaeus (father of systematics)
Konrad Lorenz (ethology)
David W. Macdonald (wild mammals)
Ernst Mayr (evolutionary biologist)
Desmond Morris (ethology)
Ron Nowak (wild mammals)
Richard Owen (proposed archetypes for major groups of organisms)

The pronunciation of "zoology" is [zoh-ol-uh-jee], however it is common to hear this word mispronounced as [zu-ol-uh-jee], due to the familiarity of the word "zoo" which is an abbreviation of "zoological garden."

A zoologist? You would need to start with a degree in biology, and then animal medicine. As far as I know. A zoologist is a person who works with animals, usually at zoos, but you could also work at wildlife preserves, state parks even, possibly. If you get to work with penguins, I'll be very jealous!!
