After studying medicine at Tubingen, Jäger became the director of the Viennese Zoological Garden. It was at this time that he published the above paper with its two extraordinary photographs of a nearly complete skeleton of a Palapteryx Ingens. In 1868 he was appointed professor of zoology at the Academy of Hohenheim and subsequently he taught zoology and anthropology at Stuttgart Polytechnic. He published extensively and in 1876 suggested an early hypothesis in explanation of heredity. Heidtmann. #1008.
