What can you do?

Have you ever had a question on a test that asked you what would happen if an animal was taken out of an area? If you were like most of the kids I knew growing up you might have just said "bad things". As a wildlife biologist you get asked this question and it is your job to figure it out. You can do this in a lab or in an actual study out in the field. You have the opportunity to study the effects pollution has on plants and animals in an area. And if you are good at your job you might have the opportunity to fix that problem.

This picture shows the common stereotypes of this job. Yes we love the outdoors and we can work with animals but when push comes to shove we are scientist. This involves long ours of research and late nights.

This is the first of a small series of blogs about what you can do as a wildlife biologist.
