    What do zoologists do?

    There are many different kinds of zoologists. Some try to learn everything about one animal, and some learn about a group of animals some try to understand where new kinds of animals come from and other zoologists are interested in how animals can get sick.

    A famous zoologist

    Charles Darwin is probably the most famous zoologist. He showed that animals are all one big family and that every kind of animal changes slowly to match the place where they live. This is called "evolution (进化)". During his life, people laughed at Darwin, saying that people and animals couldn't come from the same family However many zoologists today agree that Darwin was right.
