ANSWER:

Conrad Gessner (1516 – 1565) is considered to be the father of modern zoology.  

EXPLANATION:

He was a Swiss Naturalist. In the seventeenth century, he wrote three volumes of “Historiae Animalium” which was considered to be a standard work in all around Europe on the history of the animals.

Conrad von Gesner was a medical practitioner by profession and his extreme observational power on wild life which was written in Historiae Animalium is a landmark in modern zoology.
