Answer

Al-Kindi was one of the first Islamic scholars to write about zoology. His work on the subject was based on Greek and Roman sources, but he also made some original observations of his own. He wrote about the behavior of animals, their anatomy, and their classification. His work was influential on later Islamic scholars, and it also helped to spread knowledge about zoology to Europe.
