Zoologists typically work for zoos, aquariums, wildlife rehabilitation facilities and other establishments within an office or laboratory environment. They work closely with other Zoologists to create hypotheses, conduct research and use their knowledge to enhance animal care at their workplace. Their job is to use their passion for wildlife to ask important questions that drive research initiatives. They may also be responsible for compiling their research into scientific reports or more conversational articles so both their colleagues and the general public can learn more about a species and its characteristics.
