Wikipedia description:
Tycho Fredrik Hugo Tullberg (9 October 1842 – 24 April 1920) was a Swedish zoologist, artist and sculptor. He was a great-grandson of Carl Linnaeus and conducted studies on a wide range of animals including springtails, rodents, molluscs and whales. Access to Norwegian whaling stations allowed him to examine the development of the baleen of blue whales in specimens that were killed. The woodpecker Campethera tullbergi is named after him.
