Zoology has traditionally been taught as a descriptive science, focusing on the classification, anatomy, and physiology of animals. While this approach has provided a solid foundation for understanding animal biology, it often fails to convey the dynamic and complex interactions between animals, their environments, and human societies. The field of zoology needs to evolve to incorporate new technologies, such as genomics, bioinformatics, and computational modeling, to better address the pressing issues facing animal conservation, welfare, and management.
