Johann Büttikofer
Johann Büttikofer (9 August 1850 – 24 June 1927) was a Swiss
zoologist who worked at the
Blijdorp Zoological Garden in Rotterdam. After his retirement he settled in Bern, Switzerland. For his extensive contributions to the knowledge of Liberian fauna based on two zoological expeditions to the
Republic of Liberia (1879 to 1882 and 1886 to 1887) he is regarded as the 'Father of Liberian Natural History'.
