I have a biology degree. It is a broad degree, with studies in all areas of biology - zoology, botany, anatomy, embryology, genetics, physiology, microbiology, ecology. Zoology is the specific study of animal biology so you wouldn't deal with plant science as much and would get into more specific courses dealing with animals. Wildlife biology is where you would get into more environmental issues with regard to the animal kingdom. You would study some botany and vegetational analysis methods as these relate closely to animal habitats.I did graduate work in Botany and had to take courses in Plant Autoecology (ecology of individual plant habitats) and Plant Synecology (dealing with plant communities) There are comparable courses in zoology I'm sure. Many wildlife biology majors were in my Botany classes.General biology doesn't get you much - teaching if you get the credential or entrance into graduate school. Zoology and wildlife biology, being more narrow areas of study, have more job opportunities, like working for Fish and Game dept. They are also good prep for graduate studies like veterinary medicine.
