What is the scientific study of animals called?

  1. Herpetology

  2. Ornithology

  3. Aquaculture

  4. Zoology

The correct answer is: Zoology

Zoology is the scientific study of animals, which includes their behavior, physiology, distribution and classification. Herpetology specifically focuses on the study of reptiles and amphibians, while ornithology studies birds. Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms and is not considered a branch of zoology. Although the other options may involve the study of animals, they are not the specific and all-encompassing field that zoology is.
