| General description |
This optional subject complements the obligatory training in anatomy and physiology of the domestic animals extending them to other zoological species with professional interest. Its objective is the understanding of the structure and function of wild, exotic and laboratory animals directed to its medicine, surgery and reproduction. Groups studied include reptiles, birds and mammals. |

Each group will present the resulting work to the teacher. Once evaluated, in these tutorials their
implementation and results will be studied and, according to the difficulties encountered and the
evaluation of the teachers, they will be given a grade that can be improved if the indicated recommendations are followed. The final works may be shared through the Internet. |

Realization and exhibition of works.
Each student must participate in a directed work to access the grade percentage
indicated. It is necessary to use mandatory tutorials. Each group will present the resulting
work to the teacher. Once evaluated, in these tutorials its completion and results will be

Conservation of grades only during the academic year of obtaining.
It will be mandatory, in any case, to take both the theoretical and practical exams to pass the subject.
During exams or evaluation tests, the use of any device or material, electronic or not, that could be used for the transmission or reception of information related to the subject evaluated, or that contains data that could be used for plagiarism purposes, is prohibited. copy or fraud, adhering to the internal guidelines of the University of León in this regard. The detection of these practices will mean a grade of 0.0 in the final exam, or test that is carried out separately, in which they are detected. |
