He is regarded as one of the founders of modern ethology, the study of animal behaviour.
He was born in The Hague in 1907 and studied biology and taught at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. He later taught at Yale and Columbia, and, after World War II, at Oxford University in England as university lecturer in animal behavior.
In 1951, he published The Study of Instinct, an influential book on animal behaviour, and published a number of other writings in this field. In the 1960s, he collaborated with filmmaker Hugh Falkus on a series of wildlife films, including The Riddle of the Rook (1972) and Signals for Survival (1969), which won the Italia prize in that year and the American blue ribbon in 1971.
Dr. Tinbergen passed away in Oxford, England in 1988 at the age of 81.lihat lebih sedikit
