Some potential disadvantages of studying biology include a heavy workload, challenging concepts, and the need for advanced technical skills. Additionally, career options in biology may require further education or training for higher-level positions.

Galileo contributed to the field of microscopy by improving the design of the compound microscope, which allowed for greater magnification. He also made important observations using the microscope, such as discovering the moons of Jupiter.

I've been looking into this job lately and looking at it most statistics gather at around 14 or so dollars an hour starting (around 28-30k a year) so earnings are not high... but it also says that if you lovvvve animals that's payment enough sometimes :3

I heard of this a long time ago. When an animal is injured or sick in the zoo they need cells in areas throughout the zoo that the medical teams can have easy access to the animal without endangering themselves, and without moving the animal too far from it's normal enclosure. So, they can keep the crisis cells prepared and ready, in different areas, keeping the animal closer to it's regular surroundings and mates, while giving medical assistance, or recovery time under observation. The idea was to cause as little disturbance to the sick or injured animal, and all the others animals as well, by not drugging and moving an animal through the zoo and then after, what might be a long recovery, back again to it's enclosure. It was used for the animals that needed observation or treatment for whatever reason, physical, or behavioral. I'm not sure that this method is still being used now, it was awhile back that I heard of this on a TV program.

The best zoo in the world is subjective and can vary depending on personal preferences. Some top-ranked zoos include San Diego Zoo in the United States, Singapore Zoo in Singapore, and Taronga Zoo in Australia. Each offers unique experiences and a wide variety of animal species.

Visiting a zoo can teach you about different animal species, their habitats, behaviors, and conservation efforts. It can also help raise awareness about wildlife conservation and the importance of protecting endangered species. Additionally, zoos can offer educational programs and experiences that promote a greater understanding and appreciation of the natural world.

=== === Yes, they are. Some zoos have little signs that talk about the animals. Additional Information: Many zoos offer tours giving details about the animals to school groups that sign up for their special services, as well as days set aside each month for focusing on specific groups, or species. Some have night time tours to help teach and explore nocturnal species that aren't active during the normal daytime hours, and those with large conservation programs have events designed for education revolving around endangered species. Also many zoo have schedules set up for interns, and volunteers, helping out, or taking care of many different tasks. The learning process up close and personal can be a lifelong memory. All these different events are usually scheduled months ahead of time. Checking with the Event Program Director's office, or Event Coordination Department will help you get a copy of the schedules.

For gaining employment as a zoo keeper some experience in an animal related area such as stables, kennels or veterinary surgery is helpful as are good grades attained at a recognized college in animal care, or animals husbandry. Above all however, is the correct attitude towards animals and their care. A keen interest in wild and captive animals with an interest in conservation and preservation.

There are many programs run by different organizations, some working together, while others are working alone. But all the programs are attempting to raise the birth rate for Pandas. These efforts are coordinated through the Wolong National Nature Reserve set up by the Chinese government. This Panda program is working with the World Wildlife Fund in research and genetics, among other issues concerning the Pandas. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

The San Diego Zoo, in California has had the Giant Pandas since 1987. There are now five Giant Pandas with a young Panda that was birthed on site, just being introduced to visitors. There are also Giant Pandas at the National Zoo in Washington DC, the Atlanta Zoo, in Georgia, and the Memphis Zoo in Tennessee. All these zoos have contracts with the Chinese government, and pay a yearly fee to keep the Giant Pandas at their zoo. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

yea the animals have to be free and not be confined to cages they try simulate nature but not the space animals need space

NO, animals do not have rights. We are doing things against their will but not against their non-existant rights.

It would be foolish to assume that animals are the same as humans as we are clearly different.

Besides animals inflict pain on others all the time, we are not exempt unless you can prove we are not animals. All animals have the will to live but not the rights, or else there would never be carnivores.

Rights are a purely human concept, it does not exist naturally, if humans were not present there would be no rights. IT is up to people to decide on what rights are.

And I'm sure animals feel pain and emotions, evolutionally it probably helped them survive, but this a matter of opinion

If i was taught dogs liked being kicked and that it was the right thing to do i would be doing it right now and it would be the right thing.

What if an animal loved to be hurt, humans have BDSM and it can be assumed that some animals also do. How can a person decide for the animal?

Animals rights do not benefit humans in any way, rather it harms humans that depend on animals, maybe not you but what about the poor, hungry, or farmer? I rather have people love me than animals as people can judge and comment on my morality.

It depends. If the zoo holds an endangered species they would usually breed it and give it back to the wild.

Would you be happy in a cage? No. Some zoos are horrible places just set up for cheap entertainment. But some have wide open spaces and really help save animals from extinction. As long as the animal keeps all its skills of the wild than zoos will survive legally. But zoos can turn into a death trap if desease breaks out. lol sabby

Depending on the zoo, how large it is, species of the animals and how naturally social they are, usually most often animals of the same species are the ones most likely to live together. However, if an animal is naturally solitary, it is penned and held by itself. Rarely would you get animals that are not naturally found to coexist in the wild living together.

An example is the trio of the black bear, lioness and tiger that have been living together in peaceful harmony for over 10 years--ever since they were cubs--when they were rescued from drug dealers that had abused and neglected them and taken to Noah's Ark, an animal rescue center in Georgia. It's unusual because both the bear and the tiger are solitary creatures, and yet they can, have and continue to live together, play together and eat together in peaceful coexistence.

On average tigers will live for 10 to 15 years out in the wild and 16 to 20 years in captivity.
