        Zoology is defined as the science of studying animals. But in reality, in a university a “Zoology Department” might have people studying a wide variety of topics, some on animals, some not! For example, my research was about evolution, but not specifically about animal evolution. Other people I worked with studied other things, for example, bird behaviour.
