Timothy Hugh Clutton-Brock FRS (born 13 August 1946)[citation needed] is a British zoologist known for his comparative studies of the behavioural ecology of mammals, particularly red deer and meerkats.

Education

Clutton-Bruck was educated at Rugby School and at the University of Cambridge, where he also received his PhD in 1972.

Career and research

As of 2008, he is the Prince Philip Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and head of the Large Animal Research Group at the Department of Zoology of the University of Cambridge, and a fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge. He also holds extraordinary professorships in the Department of Zoology and Entomology and the Mammal Research Institute of the University of Pretoria, South Africa.

Clutton-Brock's early work was on social behaviour in primates. Much of his recent work focuses on three long-term studies: of Red Deer on the Scottish island of Rùm, of Soay sheep on St Kilda, and of meerkats in the southern Kalahari. He is one of the founders of the Kalahari Meerkat Project, whose subjects featured in the television programme Meerkat Manor.
