The business of working at getting work is pretty intense. But you don't get the rewards of actually working.

Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued, we would need no zoos at all.

Zoology has always been interesting to me. Nature is fascinating.

Zoologists may find jobs working for government agencies, non-profit organizations, universities, museums and zoos.
