Theophil Johann Noack (born September 20, 1840 in Wusterbarth , † March 31, 1918 in Braunschweig ) was a German zoologist and teacher.

Live and act

From 1858 Noack studied natural history and geography at the University of Halle and then at the University of Leipzig , where he graduated with a doctorate in 1865 . Between 1860 and 1874 he was a teacher in a secondary school in Stettin and from 1874 to 1911 he was a professor at the Herzoglichen Real-Gymnasium in Braunschweig . Noack's research focus was the African mammal fauna. In 1906 he described the mysterious African dwarf elephant ( Loxodonta pumilio ) on the basis of a specimen that Carl Hagenbeck acquired from the New York Bronx Zoo . In the period that followed, however, it turned out that Loxodonta pumilio is only a small specimen of the forest elephant ( Loxodonta cyclotis ) and is therefore not a valid taxon . Further taxa described by Noack are Noack's leaf-nosed bat ( Hipposideros ruber ), the small-eared dormouse ( Graphiurus microtis ), the Boehm gerbil ( Gerbilliscus boehmi ), the emperor bush rat ( Aethomys kaiseri ) and the Somaliensis wild ass ( Somaliensis africanus ). In 1894 he established the genus Dorcatragus for the Beira described in the same year by Josef Menges as Oreatragus megalotis .

Many of Noack's articles were published in the series Zoologischer Anzeiger and Zoologischer Jahrbücher published by the German Zoological Society .

Noack was born with Alzira. Fölzer, who was born on October 8, 1857 in Porto Alegre , Brazil. The children Ricarda and Hans emerged from this marriage.
