In which category does a zoologist work with animals?

1. Botanist

2. Geologist

3. Veterinarian

4. Entomologist

The correct answer is: Botanist

A zoologist specifically studies animals, focusing on their biology, behavior, and interactions with their environments. This role entails understanding animal species, their habitats, and their ecological roles. The role of a botanist is primarily centered around the study of plants, making that option unrelated to the field of zoology. A geologist focuses on the Earth, its materials, processes, and history, which does not pertain to the study of animals. A veterinarian, while also involved with animals, is primarily concerned with their health and medical treatment rather than conducting studies on their behavior or ecology. An entomologist studies insects, which is a specialized field within zoology, but does not cover the broader study of all animal types. Therefore, among the given choices, none align perfectly with the definition of a zoologist, making this a somewhat misleading question. Nevertheless, the core of a zoologist's work is indeed focused on animals and their ecosystems.
