She describes
about
the animals.
Is 'about' needed?
Thanks in advance.

@tanguatlay,
"About" is absolutely not need. It's wrong.

@tanguatlay,
"About" is wrong after "describes".
She describes the animals.
She gives a description of the animals.
She talks about the animals.

@Francis,
One would use 'in'.
Do you mean:
The ethologists recognise the behaviour (which she describes) as occurring
in
or
among
captive animals?
If so, then:
The ethologists know of the behavior she describes in the animals in captivity..
The naturalist described mating behaviour in chimps. My Grandmother blocked her ears.
