Google is paying tribute to Malaysian zoologist Dr Lim Boo Liat in a Doodle that can be seen on the search homepage today (June 21).

The late Dr Lim has been described as a leading authority on all things related to Malaysia’s biological diversity. He was credited for helping to establish Zoo Negara in Kuala Lumpur and has written more than 300 scientific publications about mammalogy and parasitology.
