Confused between veterinian and zoologist 😄

When i Go to Wikipedia i learn a some sort of weird Pattern for example when it's a Very famous species or it's often called charismatic megafauna the page is long and they show a picture of a Very famous Animals(ex Lion great white shark bald Eagle) They not only show the Full picture but the page is Also long,however If the page shows only the drawing of a animal or Not even show the picture or drawing of the animal at all the page is too short and sometimes It even becomes a sub,can someone explain this?

Why was the Galápagos tortoise once thought to be it's own species then became a species complex and then became its own species again?

Is animal behavior the best or worst Way in order to know If a animal is a Single or various species?

Why do we need to find New species

Can someone explain in details that why in this year that the Green anaconda and the king cobra's taxonomy were recently questioned and they were possibly reclassifed into two species for the former and four species for the latter because i don't understand that story?

What is the reason that despite their least concern status Why was the pygmy right whale only seen or Heard from only drawings and Beached individuals until It was filmed alive between 2022 and 2023?

Why is sometimes the giraffe is treated like a genus with multiple species or sometimes as a monotypic genus with only one species?

What's going with the king cobra? I Saw it's page on Wikipedia and It says that the king cobra has become a species complex instead of a Full Blown or only species,can someone explain why is the king cobra's taxonomy is changing?

So obviously there is a common misconception that bats are blind, which I know has been debunked and revealed as just being not true, but I am curious to find any research or pockets of information directly relating to this matter to greater expand my knowledge of this fact, I am of course doing my own research as well but I am curious if anyone know's of any interesting research that has been done or somewhere I might see more information on this subject if I wanted to elaborate on it with other people.

A quick Google search told me that ! These tiny rodents can apparently bite with 7,000 PSI?

I find this highlighter likely to be true, since the strongest bite force on any animal live today belongs to that of the nilev crocodile which can deliver 5000 PSI, so this would imply that a tiny squirrel has near T-Rex level jaw power

And if this is actually true, how do the squirrels not break their own Jaws, force their teeth into their jaws whenever they close their mouths or chew acorns

I want to pursue zoology but i want to be able to travel and ive recently learned theres different jobs you can do and im not quite sure which one im meant to be looking at to travel and research animals if anyone could answer this at all with any answer its apreciated

Does anyone have any interesting examples of behaviours of animal that are interacting with human-modified environments?

I was watching Luca and started thinking about a hypothetical organism that could fully breath water and air equally. I know stuff like the lungfish exist but it’s not fully water breathing despite being a fish. And every other adjacent creature I could find has either pseudo lungs or gills. I wonder what y’all think of this

Mine are pigeons, I love pigeons so much

We read all the time how many more sharks are killed by humans than humans are killed by sharks. This seems to be trure for a lot of animals. Are there any for witch it is not? Are there an species that kill more humans than humans kill them?

I’m trying to completely understand why the food chain doesn’t completely collapse when animals go extinct. Google says it’s because of multiple diets but, if one animal gains an additional predator, why doesn’t the added threat completely wipe an additional group out?

I'm a high school student and I've been looking a lot at wildlife biology and related fields. My dad always tells me to work for myself, and I like the idea of owning an animal research company. When I try and find any info on this it only shows me a zoologist or wildlife biologist and not an owner of the company they work for. I want to act like an employee and do the same as the other people I hire or at least help out, but control what we research, where we go, how we get our money, and things a manager would do. Not finding anything about this makes me have lots of questions. Is it even a thing that people have done? How would I even do It? What would the pay be like, and would it be worth it for extra schooling and more work? How would I run it? I want some answers to things like that. Thanks

I come needing experts to settle a long debate i have had for while. The question goes as such: if you have a large enough earth with perfect conditions to house every animal in history at once and place them all in they’re relative spots (properly spaced so they’re not crammed together and not spawn camping each other i’d say like 100 of each species). What species would thrive and which would not.

My friend believes it will be a clean house for dinosaurs but i believe some modern species have the edge in some places due to intelligent and what not.

(we’ll ignore things like ecosystem instability, starvation and dehydration due to being unable to find water or food, disease things like that, just animals oh and humans start with nothing)

I understand that it's a call they mainly do during mating season but what in their body makes them capable of making that noise?
