For animal

With the discovery of the structure of DNA by Francis Crick and James Watson in 1953, the realm of molecular biology opened up, leading to advances in cell biology, developmental biology and molecular genetics.

The study of animals has largely moved on to deal with form and function, adaptations, relationships between groups, behaviour and ecology. Zoology has increasingly been subdivided into disciplines such as classification, physiology, biochemistry and evolution.

The diprotodon is related to wombats, a creature that still walks the earth and is found in Australia. The diprotodon skeleton was incredibly impressive, it's crazy to think that these creatures walked the earth just 50,000 years ago. The diprotodon weighed two and a half tons and were huge versions of the sloth.

Jack then showed me the Octopuses and fishes that Darwin collected in his studies of evolution, the museum has this thanks to the Cambridge Philosophical society donation.

From animal lovers to sustainability warriors, zoology attracts all kinds of students in love with the natural world. Combining elements of biology, psychology, and environmental science, zoology teaches you how to care for and conserve animal life.
