Alguns autores preferem definir a Ezoognósia como o estudo da morfologia externa dos animais em função de suas atividades econômicas. De qualquer forma, a Ezoognósia está intimamente relacionada à arte de julgar ou apreciar os animais. Ela confere ao criador as bases indispensáveis para o julgamento. (...)"
