Well, wildlife biologists need to understand how animals interact with their environment. For example, it is important to know where animals live, what they eat and how they move from one place to another. Wildlife biologists spend a lot of time on the job conducting research to learn more about wild animals.
Research often involves measurements, calculations and record-keeping with charts and graphs.
Computers, of course, help biologists analyze the results of the research. Answers Wildlife biologists must be ready and able to handle wild animals in both wild and captive situations. For example, biologists must be careful when putting leg bands on young ospreys. Probably one of the least known aspects of the job is how much time is spent answering questions from the public and media and helping people learn to live close to, or coexist, with wild animals.
