If you are a professional ethologist, you likely will be a member of several scientific organizations. They have yearly meetings which rotate as to their location.... so you will have an opportunity to see the world while describing your area of study.

In addition, if you are a comparative ethologist, studying many members of the same animal group, it is likely you will be visiting several countries and different habitats.

They do not travel much.
