Gottlieb Conrad Christian Storr (June 16, 1749, Stuttgart – February 27, 1821, Tübingen) was a German physician, chemist, and naturalist.
In 1768 he obtained his doctorate from the University of Tübingen, where he also served as a professor of chemistry, botany, and natural history from 1774 to 1801.[1] He is the taxonomic authority of several genera, including Mellivora, whose only species is the honey badger (Mellivora capensis).[2][3]
