    Zoology is the study of animals. There are over a million known animal species divided into vertebrates and invertebrates. Three fun facts about zoology are: 1) Archaeopteryx was a transitional species that lived 150 million years ago with features of both ancient reptiles and modern birds; 2) Tardigrades are microscopic animals that can survive extreme conditions by entering cryptobiosis where they lose 95% of their body water; 3) Hydrothermal vent animals were discovered in 1977 living off geothermally heated water, showing life does not require sunlight.

    3 Fun Facts About

    ZOOLOGY
    Group 6
    DID YOU KNOW?
    The word zoology has been derived
    from Greek words meaning ‘animal
    and ‘knowledge’. This field is also
    known as the study of animal
    kingdom. Animal kingdom includes
    humans, bears, goldfish, clams etc.
    There are more than one million
    known animal species in existence
    on the earth and every species
    posses some unique traits. There are
    two phyla of animal kingdom: –
    vertebrates (with backbones) and
    invertebrates (without backbones).

    Transitional species
    The most impressive breakthrough of all, was the
    discovery of the fossilized remains of archaeopteryx, a
    creature that share same features with ancient reptiles and
    some modern birds.
    Archeaopteryx

    Lived around 150 million


    years ago had wings and
    feathers but also claws,
    teeth and bony tail. The
    discovery of archaeopteryx
    drove the idea of evolution
    into public consciousness.

    Hydrothermal Vent Animals
    In 1977 the discovery of marine creatures living around
    geothermally heated water that gushed from the cracks in
    the seabed overturned the notion that sunlight sustained all
    life on earth.
    Yeti Crab
    Named for their characteristic white body and
    hairy arms, the yeti crabs (Kiwaidae) are a family
    of crustaceans that live next to hydrothermal

    of Easter Island in the south Pacific, and since
    then, several species belonging to the family
    have been identified. One of the oddest behaviors
    o f t h e c r a b s i s t h a t t h e y d o n o t l i v e i n s o l i d a r i t y.
    Because the zone that they are capable of living
    in is so small, scientists have estimated their
    population density to be roughly 700 crabs per
    square meter near some vents.
