ZOOLOGY LEC - ACT 1

1. If you were a zoologist, what species would you like to study and know, including traits,
behaviors, and the physical.
- Personally, I really want to know more about cats. Cats are a diverse group of
animals, with more than 40 different species found throughout the world and
many species of cats are apex predators (which are being overlooked), meaning
they play a crucial role in regulating the populations of the prey species. While
several species of cats are endangered or threatened (making them a focus of
conservation efforts), domestic cats are one of the most popular pets in the world.
Studying cat species can help us better understand these amazing animals and the
roles they play in our world, as well as inform conservation efforts to protect them
for future generations.

2. State what you have already discovered so far with that particular species by using a
table.
