Identify the man in the first two visuals. The third visual is meant to be a clue and shows an application of the theories developed by him.Answer: The guy is Konrad Lorenz and the theory is filial imprinting, a phenomenon where young animals learn the characteristics of their parents (or any suitable moving stimulus) that they see during a critical period soon after they are born. Lorenz demonstrated the phenomenon by imprinting himself on some geese. The third visual shows some birds being imprinted with a hang glider by a filming crew. When these birds grow up, they let the hang glider fly with them providing for great shots like the ones in the excellent Winged Migration. Iam, Raghu, Hirak and Harish got it. Well done.
