Walter Alois Weber (May 23, 1906 - January 10, 1979) was an American mammalogist, animal artist, and illustrator for ''National Geographic''. He was noted for his colorful and realistic-looking sketches and paintings of animals, particularly wild cats, Alaska Peninsula brown bears, American black bears, coyotes, and dog breeds, including retrievers, hounds, and sporting dogs. He also painted portraits of many other birds, mammals, and reptiles. His work in the National Geographic caught the public's attention from 1939 to 1968. In 1967, he was given the Conservation Service Award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/resshow/perry/bios/WeberWalter.htm )〕 ==Early life== Weber was born May 23, 1906, in Chicago, to poor immigrants, who had trouble caring for their family of eleven children. He had a natural talent for art, and at age nine he began taking art classes at the Chicago Art Center.〔 Weber also sold his art prints to make enough money to buy his art supplies, and for a can of his favorite drink at a local bar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://store.russellfinkgallery.com/weberwaltera.html )〕 Weber went to the University of Chicago, graduating in 1927. He earned a BS degree in zoology and botany, and he worked along with Carl Rungius, a big game painter, as well.〔
