Vertebrate Zoology is the study of animals with a spinal column or backbone, such as fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals. It involves examining their anatomy, physiology, behavior, and classification, as well as their evolution and ecological interactions. Vertebrate Zoologists use a variety of methods and tools to study these animals, including dissection, genetics, imaging, and behavioral observations. Their research contributes to our understanding of the diversity and complexity of the animal kingdom, and has important applications in fields such as conservation, medicine, and agriculture.
