I just saw a deer get hit by a car and it was limping, when I passed by it, I saw that his back left leg had like a chunk torn out of it. how is it not on the floor rolling and just get back up and walk away like nothing happened I know animals, especially wild Animals have a higher pain tolerance than humans but something like that.?

I'm 17 and I just graduated and I'm applying for scholarships. But after that I'm trying to figure out what classes to take, and honestly it's so confusing. To start, I'm thinking about doing large animal science to possibly become a large animal veterinarian. I was also thinking as a back up maybe persuing wildlife or forestry. But I am truely looking into large animal sciences. Where my question lays is do I need to go to a community college for the prerequisites for taking large animal science/studies. I live in indiana and plan on going to college instate only. So far I see that Purdue has animal science degree as well as IU. I just don't know where to start.

Hey everyone! I’m a high school senior that is committed to LSU but just got into UCSB off the waitlist. My career goal is veterinarian, and I’m planning on doing the 3+4 vet program at LSU (save one year of undergrad). UCSB has a quite good zoology major that can be good before I go to vet school, and they seem to be a better school academically overall. 

I’m really not sure where I’d like to go. I’m not sure how much better LSU will be for my pursuit of being a veterinarian, and I’m not sure how much better of an experience I would have at UCSB given its closer to home (I’m from LA) and I’m more familiar with the culture (and the beach haha).

I come from a pretty conservative catholic background so my family really wants me to go to lsu but im not sure if thats the best choice career and education wise. I’d also pay $3,000 more per year by going to UCSB. I would love for anyone to weigh in on my situation and let me know what they would do!

I know the eyes are heavily dilated, but how big do they get? I can't find any photos of how big it is. Does it consume the whole eye or something?

are there any non-hindgut fermentors that arent ruminants, pseudoruminants, marsupials, sloths, hoatzin, or colobus monkeys? Those are the foregut fermenters I could find but i feel like-especially with like sponges, jellyfish, zooids, insects nematodes, rotifers, etc etc- that it would be unlikely that they would all be hindgut fermenters.... and that usually when ever I try to search anything that related to all animals, the results only pertain to terrestrial animals, plus maybe a few common marine life (eg large fish, marine mammals, sharks) and even still, will often sometimes exclude insects, amphibians/reptiles, and rodents

I had the dream to be a Veterinarian before school and a year into my major. Realized I no longer wanted that career but enjoyed research in large animals instead.

I’m exploring careers and possibly grad school. I’d like to hear from all kinds of people and perspective’s.

My advisor wasn’t even in my major so i’ve been at a loss for seeking advice for my future. Plus, my college leaned more towards food science students and left us AS students hanging even though there was a lot of us.

Would ruminants (and hoatzin) be considered zooids because of the microbes in their stomach? Some of the microbes that ferment in the rumen are considered animal life....

I have a severe frog phobia and I don’t want to look at or touch frogs. My main fear is frogs jumping on me, like my feet or my back. Is that common or unlikely?

I’m thinking of going to cal poly for animal science on a pre-vet track but I heard on another thread you have to take classes on slaughtering animal which I’m not interested in. Is this true or is that optional?

What are the careers after graduating animal science? What is the average salary?

Hi! Im graduating with my ASCI bachelors in 2 months and Im working on making a CV for the first time. My TA and one of my professors did send me theirs but I was wondering if I could see other people's CVs for reference on how to format and what to include in mine? Especially graduate-level people's CVs would be very helpful.

Thank you!

list your favorites (i like learning new ones so this is a fun way)
Mine are:
Mouths (venus fly traps/animals)
Crop milk/milk (pigeons, flamingoes emperor penguins mammals)
Foregut fermentation/rumen style (ruminants, hoatzin, apparently some primates?)
Elephant shrews-shrews-rodents

I know that wild animals , especially wild cats like tigers and lions are not supposed to be domesticated

The QUESTION:- I want to know what big wild cat is the most loyal, attentive, and protective of thier owner? like for example if thier owner is being attacked they won't hesitate to defend him

Hi!

I'm a 40-year-old disabled veterinary technician educator looking into graduate-level programs I can do online (unless it's local) to gain formal expertise in ecology, evolution, zoology, that kind of thing, with the ultimate goal of being involved in informal or formal education, like working in a zoo or wildlife center education department, or in consulting for teaching materials or husbandry products. I mentioned my disability only because I'm limited in what I can do physically--I'm not in clinical practice anymore because of it--so I don't want to have to do demanding fieldwork.

I searched every kind of specific degree I could think of, but I landed on a program at Western Kentucky University. It's just called biology, but there is a lot of stuff more on the macro end. They have a master's program and they also have a graduate certificate. I'm really into the certificate idea since it's cheaper, quicker, and easier. But would that be pointless? If I just have a BA in anthropology and an associates in veterinary technology and then a graduate certificate, would that be enough to maybe work in my field of interest? Or is it much smarter to just commit to the masters? Thanks for any advice or insights!

I am currently on course to get my Animal Science degree and become a Vet Tech. I know that being a tech is not the best paying job in the world, but I am super excited about it as I already work in cat rescue. But, if I were to decide to do something else with my degree, what kind of options do I have? And no, I have not asked my advisor this yet; I have been told a few options that I have but I would love to hear real life experiences if anyone can relate to this.

I'm in my second year of my degree and I'm honestly considering transferring my courses now and switching to a 2-year Vet Technology program. I'd graduate the same time. Which is better?? Should I stick it out at university or become a vet tech? Can I be a vet tech with this degree or something similar that pays well? I don't even know what I'll be able to do with this degree I just know that I want to be working in with animals.

Hey guys, I’m looking for a good Carolina college that has a good program for animal science, I’ve been looking at NCAT but that’s an HBCU so I’m a little nervous because I couldn’t be whiter hahahaha, but also been looking at NCSU and I just don’t know if they have a good program or not. I’m out of state so. Thanks in advance :)
