There is great variation in the work done by zoologists. Most of them have no connection to zoos incidentally, though most zoos will have a zoologist on staff. A zoologist is a biologist who specializes in studying animals. Some zoologists work mainly in the field, that is in the natural habitat of the animals they are studying. Other zoologists work primarily in the laboratory, running experiments which reveal new information about animals and how they live. "Animals" is a very broad category, so a zoologist will concentrate in a particular area of animal studies, such as population dynamics, classification, physiology, parasitology, evolution, genetics, etc. The field of zoology overlaps various other fields as well. For example, a paleontologist really has to be a zoologist first.
Also, most zoologists specialize in the study of certain groups of animals. So there are invertebrate zoologists and vertebrate zoologists, marine zoologists, fresh water zoologists and wildlife zoologists. Among vertebrate zoologists there are mammalogists who study mammals, ornithologists who study birds, herpetologists (reptiles), icthyologists (fish). Among invertebrate zoologists there are entomologists who study insects, malacologists who study mollusks, protozoologists who study single-celled organisms, and many other specialties.

skills to know and understand the animals and its environment
they're dealing with.............blue-collar coz being a zoologist means getting down and dirty in dealing with animals
- zoologists also work with other scientists like biologists, botanists, environmentalists, chemists and other scientists coz there are a lot of fields that zoology covers coz lots of animals got all these abilities and chemicals and stuffs that can help us humans like medicines
- it takes a lot of knowledge and understanding to deal with animals and their environment.........
