Zoology is the branch of biology which deals with the classical, applied, and advanced molecular aspects of animal biology. By studying animals, we get a better understanding of origin and evolution of life, its growth, development, and diversities; the intricate mechanisms associated with all of life’s processes, and the functional interrelation of life with the ecosystem and environment. The knowledge gained is invaluable for the betterment of earth and its inhabitants as a whole.
