ogy and was a professor in the UF zoologydepartment for more than 30 years. Whileworking in the field, he kept careful notes inhis journals, which would be transformedinto his many published books.
"Carr fashioned poetry out of sheer exuberance, and he animated natural history likeno other writer before him," said Harvardzoologist E.O. Wilson.
Carr animated nature for his five childrenas well, and always found answers for theirmany questions. Growing up in the Carr family meant tending to some unusual pets, including a 300-pound alligator and Jasper, analligator snapping turtle that weighed morethan 90 pounds.
Carr dedicated his life to preserving wildFlorida and its native creatures. Carr said ofpreservation: "If this difficult saving is done,it will (be done) because man is the creaturewho preserves things that stir him ... Thiswork will take staunch people."
