But there are scientists who work in woods and jungles. These scientists are called "animal behavior(行为) scientists", and they study animals as they live in nature.
Why don't these scientists catch animals and study them in zoos? The is in the word "behavior" "Animals behavior scientists want to learn animal behave in their wild homes. When animals live in cages or in zoos, they do not act the same as they do when they are free. They may fight each other, or they may not eat, or they may not raise their babies as they usually would. To see real animal behavior, scientists must go where the animals .
So animal behavior scientists go into the jungles, the woods or the desert. There, their most important tools are their eyes and ears. They watch and listen to the animals very carefully. They write down everything that happened in notebook. they live near the animals, the scientists are careful not to frighten them. If the scientists are lucky, the animals will no attention to them. Then the scientists can see how the animals really live.
The behavior scientists hope what they've learned about animal behavior can provide clues (线索) to help people learn to live together more happily.
