Talk:George Schaller

snow leopard
I saw a show on PBS or discovery channel within the past two years or so in which a team including several westerners observed and photographed snow leopards in the wild, so I think that part of the article is no longer true. -- Akb4 09:11, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've clarified in the article: "Schaller is one of only two Westerners known to have seen a snow leopard in Nepal between 1950 and 1978." so this is no longer an issue. Ariel  ♥  Gold  02:47, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Shouldn't there be a section on the honors and awards he has received? -- Agüeybaná  02:35, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, as they are covered in the infobox, I thought that would be redundant. Should I add the section in anyway? Ariel  ♥  Gold  02:41, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I feel it would be appropriate, but certainly not entirely necessary. The article is great. If you can find specific information on why he received each award, please add a new section. But, if you can't, then don't. As you said, it would be redundant to just list the awards all over again. -- Agüeybaná  02:45, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * DUHHHHHH Just smack me, for some reason I didn't close a ref tag, and that whole section that was there already, was hidden, lol. I fixed it. Take a look now. Ariel  ♥  Gold  03:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Good Article Review
This is how I believe this article compares to the six Good Article criteria:

 * Excellent, thanks for that, I'll get it into the article :) Ariel  ♥  Gold  01:56, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

The Deer and the Tiger
A lot of Indian conservationists refer to Scahller's seminal book based on his field work, "The Deer and the Tiger:A study of the Wildlife in India". If you could please introduce a paragraph on that in your article.. He was the first to closely study the tiger on its own grounds, the prey it ate and the space it would require to survive. He helped the world understand the tiger scientifically.

Matthiessen and Schaller
Did Matthiessen accompany Schaller in the field for The Tree Where Man Was Born (1972)? Did that begin their relationship? The subsequent Snow Leopard episode makes this seem notable. --P64 (talk) 16:11, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Personal Life
Does Dr. Schaller have a personal life? I read The Year of the Gorilla, which contained a chapter written by his wife. J S Ayer (talk) 16:32, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
