Zoologists usually work in zoos as directors, curators or zookeepers. Directors are responsible for fund raising and public relations; curators oversee the functioning of the zoo and the acquisition of animals; and zookeepers are responsible for the daily hands-on care of the animals. Increasingly, some zoologists are working in areas of conservation, breeding and the protection and preservation of species.

on 5/23/2008 Ive loved animals since I was a little girl. At first i wanted to be a vet,but then i realized that I was not good with blood and the death of animals (kinda a sensitive person). Then I heard about the ASPCA but thats more law enforcement then well,actually working with animals. I want to be a Vet Tech and a Zoologist. I just don't know how to make that work.

on 4/27/2008 I myself would like to become a zoologist, but had a rough life growing up, and struggled a lot. I am now 24, way past high school, (yes, I made great grades) and am now trying to find the way to that path.

on 4/27/2008 I extremely agree with DoctorJan.
I find the captivity can demoralize animals just as much as humans.
Remember, we ALL are animals whether you accept it or not.
An animal should not be taken from its natural place into an environment which it will constantly be gawked at.
The day when zoos start to realize that being in a polluted city is harming its animals and decides that its best to find ways in which people nor animals will be harmed and able to enjoy one another in harmony is a day that is a victory to me.
