Cuvier Day

Turtle juveniles.

Cuvier had a younger brother named Frederic, who was also a naturalist. He was mentioned by Darwin as having determined many facts regarding differentiating habit and instinct. Frederic wrote a Natural History book with Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, with whom his older brother had significant ideological differences. Still, all three men recognized each other as respectable and important natural history writers.
