Bates Henry Walter (w3150)
- Description: Henry Walter Bates was a British naturalist and explorer, best known for his legendary expedition to the Amazon Basin. In 1848, he left England with Alfred Russel Wallace to study the Brazilian rainforest. Bates stayed in the Amazon for over eleven years, collecting more than 14'000 animal species, around 8'000 of which were previously unknown to science. His observations led to the identification of “Batesian mimicry,” a phenomenon where harmless species imitate dangerous ones to avoid predation. His book The Naturalist on the River Amazons (1863) is a classic of scientific travel writing
