Zoology
Zoology is the study of animals, including their classification, behaviour and distribution. Generally speaking, animals are multicellular organisms that eat, move and sexually reproduce. This means that, for example, fish, snakes, clams, spiders, butterflies and humans are all animals, but so are countless other small and unique organisms most people are unfamiliar with. The Canadian Encyclopedia is home to over 300 articles on Canadian animals and related topics, organized in this collection by category.
