Johann Zelebor

Johann Zelebor (5 December 1819 in Eggenburg, Lower Austria – 19 February 1869 in Vienna) was an Austrian naturalist, illustrator, and zoologist.

Prior to 1845 he worked as a carpenter, afterwards serving as a taxidermist at the Naturalien-Cabinet in Vienna. In 1857 he became an assistant at the aforementioned institution, later receiving a promotion as a "curator-adjunct".

He took part in the expedition Reise der österreichischen Fregatte Novara um die Erde (1861–1876) ("Journey of the Austrian frigate Novara around the Earth, 1861 – 1876"). In addition to the Novara expedition, Zelebor took zoological journeys to the Balkans, Crete and Egypt during his career.[1]

gollark: IIRC that's mostly just bad for longer wires, such as those in electricity grids.
gollark: I mean, practically, the somewhat worse fuel efficiency of a non-computer-controlled car is going to be worse for you than "but what if there's a nuclear war and my car doesn't work".
gollark: People seem to really like talking about EMP attacks or something despite them... not really being very plausible problems, compared to everything else.
gollark: I'm glad you provided this useful link.
