Explanation
A zoologist is a person who studies animals: how they live, eat, grow, and behave. For example, a zoologist studied lions in Africa to learn about their hunting habits. Zoologists often work in zoos, wildlife parks, or research centers. Their job helps people protect animals and understand nature better. Some study small creatures like insects, while others study big animals like elephants or whales.
