Several natural scientists contributed to the study and development of zoology. Some key figures include:
- Konrad Gesner: (1516-1565) Recognized as the "father of zoology," Gesner significantly advanced zoology as a scientific discipline.
- Guillaume Rondelet: (1507-1566) Made accurate observations of animals.
- Ulisse Aldrovandi: (1522-1605) Also contributed accurate observations of animals.
These individuals, among others, played pivotal roles in the early development of zoology through detailed observation and documentation of animal life.
