Johann Christian Carl (Charles) Jamrach (1815–91)

German-born dealer in wild animals. Took over his father’s London-based business dealing in birds and shells after his father’s death in about 1840. Imported all kinds of animals for naturalists, zoos, and circuses. Bred long-coated Persian greyhounds (salukis), Japanese pigs, and Madagascan cats (i.e. the fossa, Cryptoprocta ferox). Later imported Eastern curiosities.
