what are the general duties and requirements to be a ethologist?

This is from the US Department of Labor's Occupational Handbook:\nSince ethology is a section of Zoology...\n"Zoologists and wildlife biologists study animals and wildlife—their origin, behavior, diseases, and life processes. Some experiment with live animals in controlled or natural surroundings, while others dissect dead animals to study their structure. Zoologists and wildlife biologists also may collect and analyze biological data to determine the environmental effects of current and potential use of land and water areas. Zoologists usually are identified by the animal group studied—ornithologists (birds), mammalogists (mammals), herpetologists (reptiles), and ichthyologists (fish)."

after zoology you can go for\n 1. research in any of the branch of zoology\n 2.you can be a teacher in zoology\n 3. you can go for wild life photography\n 4. you can go for animal culture\n 5. and there are lot more options in zoology......  \n\n \n\n\n .............which you can do if you want

Most zoos require a Bachelor degee in Zoology to work as a keeper.  Zoo and Bio majors have very similar classes (at least they did at my university)  Includes lots of chemistry, physics, and upper division classes such as entomology, ornithology, mammalogy, animal physiology, animal behavior, etc.  Volunteering at a zoo will help you out a lot, the hands on experience is very valuable.  Good Luck.

I'm not sure of the exact requirements for GCSEs, or what colleges and universities require in way of GCSE, but for the zoology program I went through in Canada, I required advanced high school level courses (the approximate equivalent of A-levels) in English, Math, Biology, Physics and Chemistry just to enter the first-year program.  I imagine most departments would have similar requirements.

zoology started as a career back in the day, as far back as roman times as people have always wanted to find out ways to exploit the natural world and its inhabitants.\n\nIn victioran times zoology as a creer was basically going out to far flung places (or lacally in the case of amature zoologits) and killing beasts in order to stuff them to bring home for study. although some did make detaild notes on behaviour and habitat it was mostly a trophy hunting game so ironocally in many cases the study of animals caused a good few species to go extinct, including the Adonis Bule butterfly from the UK.\n\nIf you mean how do I make zoology my career, go to college and study it, if you live in the UK then i recommend A'level biology, chemistry and possibly maths (there are loads of statistics involved) english is a good one as is an art based subject or geography as you will need to be able to map out ares for study in order to get an accurate reading of thier diversity.\n\nThen go to Uni and study zoology, although speaking from expereince you might like to try environmental scinece(this means that you get to do all the interesting zoology modules but are more likeley to get a job.\n\nI would also urge you to go on and do a higher degree straight away I have left it and am now too skint to apply but as soon as i can afford it i am getting the fuck out of dodge and giong for my masters ASAP\n\nGood luck i hope i have helped or at least not rambled on too much about nothing

I'm going to quote one of the greatest evolutionary biologists of all times. \n"Nothing makes sense except in the light of evolution"\nErnst Mayr (1904-2005)\n\nAnother great researcher, the ethologist Niko Tinbergen, argued that there were four questions that the ethologist should answer, to include the different kinds of explanations for any behavior:\n1) Function: how does the behaviour impact on the animal’s chances of survival and reproduction? \n2) Causation: what are the stimuli that elicit the response, and how has it been modified by recent learning? \n3) Development: how does the behaviour change with age, and what early experiences are necessary for the behaviour to be shown? \n4) Evolutionary history: how does the behaviour compare with similar behaviour in related species, and how might it have arisen through the process of phylogeny? \n\nSo... see item 4)

Don't worry. you can buy a physiology book. then buy a dead animal,  then anatomise it. just do it ,  success belong to you.  good luck!

Take basic bio courses followed by zoology courses.

The requirements depend on the institution you obtain your degree at however it is essentially a biology degree that focuses on the animal kingdom.\n\nAs far as careers go there are many.\nAny zoo or animal sanctuary requires many people with such a degree for operation.  State and Federal agencies like the Fish and Game and Department of Natural Resources have positions available for them as well.\nOf course zoology is an excellent precursor to obtaining a Doctorate in Veterinarian studies too.\n\nBut to answer your sub question yes, you could work at a zoo planning diets and curing their ailments.

Zoo keepers do not work closely with animals - they manage the people who do...\n\nYou will need biology, nutrition, business management, accounting and human resource skills.\n\nThere are not too many zookeeper jobs in the states and most are city, county jobs that go to doctors or other people with a masters or better degree.  You would still most likely need a vet certification too.
