👉 Herpetologically refers to the study of living creatures that are found in or associated with waterways, often aquatic. This includes animals like fish, amphibians, reptiles, and insects that live in bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, oceans, swamps, and wetlands. Herpetologists study these organisms' behavior, anatomy, physiology, ecology, and evolutionary history to understand their role in the ecosystem and their interactions with humans.
