Ernest Menault

Ernest Menault (1830, Angerville -1903) was a French author and zoologist.

Menault wrote, principally ''Les Insectes nuisibles à l' Agriculture et à la Viticulture'', ''L’intelligence des animaux'' (The Intelligence of Animals) and ''L’amour maternel chez les animaux''. A review in the ''Nature'' journal for his book ''The Intelligence of Animals'', noted that "we have not been led to form a very high opinion of his physiology or of his general philosophy; but he has compiled a most entertaining volume, crammed with most amusing stories about all kinds of animals, from ants to ourang-outangs."
