Desmond Morris, zoologist, broadcaster and author, dies at 98
The Guardian
|April 21, 2026
The zoologist Desmond Morris, best known for his book The Naked Ape and his work on the ITV programme Zoo Time, has died aged 98.
Morris's son, Jason, paid tribute to him after his death on Sunday, praising his many professional achievements as well as his role as a father and grandfather.
"His was a lifetime of exploration, curiosity and creativity," Jason said. "A zoologist, manwatcher, author and artist, he was still writing and painting right up until his death. He was a great man and an even better father and grandfather."
Morris rose to prominence in 1967 when The Naked Ape became an international bestseller. He was also a prolific producer of surrealist art, often painting until 4am. He acknowledged that his work may have been indirectly influenced by his knowledge of natural history and nature and his lifelong interest in the reproductive behaviour of animals.
