The career of Desmond Morris (born 1928) was a remarkable combination of zoology and surrealist art. He obtained his PhD in animal behaviour from the University of Oxford, his subject being the reproductive behaviour of the ten-spined stickleback. He became a noted writer and television performer on zoology in general and ape behaiour in particular. Alongside that he had a career as a surrealist painter, exhibiting his work in 1950 at the London Gallery alongside that of Jean Miro.
