Biology is the umbrella term for the scientific study of all living things. This includes animals, but also plants, fungi, and micro-organisms.Zoology is a branch of Biology and is focused on animal life. This will include some microbiology (single-celled organisms) but is more focused on multi-cellular life (such as Daphnia and plankton), invertebrates (insects, Mollusca, etc.), and fauna (birds, reptiles, mammals, etc.).Zoology curricula also include some Botany but in the context of animals. For example, how certain species of plants and animals interact with each other.

Zoology in simple terms means Animal Biology. It is a branch of biology that deals with the animal kingdom, including the structure, Embryology, Evolution, Classification, Habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct, and how they interact with their ecosystems. Zoology courses offer study in the same field and equip Zoology students with career prospects in the respective field.
