Gottlieb Conrad Christian Storr (June 16, 1749 in Stuttgart – February 27, 1821 in 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]
