Wildlife rehabilitation schools in south africa?
i want to have a exotic animal wildlife rehabilitation and sanctuary. i need education in this field and i want to have it in africa. i want to start off with big cats (lions, tigers, leopards,etc...) or something along the lines of hyenas, wolves, etc... does anyone know of any programs that will give me an education and experience in this field of study. i need something where i can learn hands on as i want to interact with these animals at my sanctuary and i will need to know how to properly and safely do that. thank you for your answers
Is it worth becoming a marine biologist?
It took me a while of being a “Marine Biologist” before I figured this out, so I do think it is worth sharing. I have a dual degree in Marine Science and Biology from the University of Miami and am currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Washington in their Fishery School. But:I only tell people that I am a ‘Marine Biologist’ when I am talking to kids.Otherwise, I refer to myself as a geneticist. It took me a while to realize that the field that I identify with is not really a field at all. Instead it is a conglomerate of other fields that happen to all work on topics related to biology in marine species/communities/ecosystems. Marine scientists study core sciences like Physics, Biology, Geology, Chemistry, Ecology, Mathematics, and Anthropology as they relate and apply to our oceans. This is what makes this field so amazing and unique.While I am a marine biologist and have a pretty strong background in all of these disciplines, I could not possibly study all of them. I couldn’t know enough about all of them to effectively research them. So instead, marine scientists get specific. I personally study population/conservation genetics in marine species. My same techniques could really be applied to any species, terrestrial or aquatic, but I use my broad background in marine science and all of its sub-disciplines to help me answer questions specific to marine species.So, the cool thing about being a marine biologist is that you have a broad knowledge base in a lot of fields. This means that job opportunities aren’t limited to one area, but you could apply your skills to loads of things. Personally, I do a lot of bioinformatics and I could pretty easily take that skill set (coding in R, python, and SQL) to various high paying industries (if I wanted to).In the end I think it is all about being passionate about and finding meaning in what you do. Do what makes you happiest, work hard at it, and money will come/ become much less important.
What's a typical day for a marine biologist?
originally, i had wanted to major somewhere in astronomy but i noticed that i didn't really like the math that's involved with it. the concept of astronomy is amazing; i love it. however, it requires a great deal of physics and calculus which im not entirely sure i want to do for the rest of my life. i recently looked into marine biology, but have many questions about it. can an actual marine biologist tell me what's a typical day for him/her like and how much the career pays on average? any other information is appreciated! thanks!
Salary for a Marine Animal Rescuer?
I am in LOVE with marine animals and I want to open or work at a rehabilitation center for stranded, emaciated, injured marine animals. I will be doing it out of pure love, but of you are an employee there, do you still get a salary? I mean, don't get me wrong, I will still do this, but I need money to live off too. There are people that do rescues like that at SeaWorld, and I'm assuming they get paid...Anybody know? This is serious so please, no random answers or guesses.
