As a Zoologist, you design and conduct research projects and studies of animals as well as studying their characteristics behaviors. You also collect and analyze biological data and specimens and explain research findings though writing papers, reports, and articles.

Some challenges of being a Zoologist include:

• Limited job opportunities 
• Illegal hunting, combined with the hyper-arid conditions, drought and resource competition from livestock, has resulted in population declines, fragmentation and local extinction of most of the Kingdom’s indigenous larger fauna
• Pressure on remaining resources is amplified by the erosion of traditional conservation practices

As a Zoologist, you get to:

• Study animals for a living (Great for animal lovers!)
• Have high job satisfaction 
• Be employed by academic institutions, such as universities and museums, and by government agencies that regulate wildlife and natural resources

Zoologists must have at least a bachelor's degree in biology, zoology, or a closely related field to enter the profession. Graduate-level degrees, such as a master's or a Ph.D., are generally preferred and often required for advanced research or teaching positions.
