Konrad Zacharias Lorenz (7 November 1903 – 27 February 1989) was an Austrian zoologist, ethologist, and ornithologist. He is often regarded as one of the founders of modern ethology (animal behavior), developing an approach that began with an earlier generation, including his teacher Oskar Heinroth. He shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Nikolaas Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch [1].
