Gottlieb Conrad Christian Storr (16 June 1749, Stuttgart – 27 February 1821, Tübingen) was a German physician, chemist and naturalist.

In 1768 he obtained his doctorate from the University of Tübingen, where from 1774 to 1801, he served as a professor of chemistry, botany and natural history.[1] He is the taxonomic authority of the genus Mellivora, whose only species is the honey badger (Mellivora capensis).[2][3]

Published works[]

In 1781 he performed extensive scientific investigations in the Swiss Alps, publishing "Alpenreise vom Jahre 1781" (1784–86, 2 volumes) as a result.[1] Other noted written efforts by Storr include:

  • "Dissertatio inauguralis medica, de curis viperinis", 1768 (with Ferdinand Christoph Oetinger 1719–1772).
