Branches of Zoology

The study of animal life is ancient, but its scientific incarnation is relatively modern. Until the comparative anatomical study on morphographs by Hunter and Cuvier, the modern areas of zoological investigations have occurred. Gradually zoology expanded behind the comparative anatomy to include the following sub-disciplines:

• Zoography, it is also known as descriptive zoology.
• Comparative Zoology.
• Soil Zoology.
• Mammalogy.
• Comparative anatomy.
• Herpetology.
• Animal physiology.
• Entomology.
• Behavioural Ecology.
• Ornithology.
• Ethology studies animal behaviour.
• Invertebrate and vertebrate zoology.
• Taxonomically oriented disciplines identify and classify species and study the structures and mechanisms specific to those groups.
