Josef. H. Reichholf, born 1945, is Professor of Zoology at the State Zoological Collection, Munich. His many books and other publications together with his TV appearances have made him widely known to the general public as an ecologist and evolutionary biologist. He is regarded as one of Germany’s most versatile scientists: whether he is talking about tropical rain forests, the evolution of the zebra or the ecology of riverine woodlands, his explanations are at once expert and highly entertaining.
