History

The Zoologist, the official publication organ of the Zoological Society of Nigeria, was founded in 2002. The Journal has continued to make scientific information available to a wide range of readers, researchers and policy makers, with the hope of impacting lives positively and transforming our society. We publish original articles in various fields.
