Peter Gustaf Tengmalm 29 June 1754 27 August 1803 was a Sweden Swedish physician and natural history naturalist . Tengmalm was born in Stockholm and studied medicine at Uppsala University . He spent his spare time studying bird s and became an accomplished taxidermy taxidermist . He graduated in 1785 and moved to the town of Eskilstuna , where he worked as the provincial medical officer. In 1792 he travelled to Scotland and England , meeting other naturalists including Joseph Banks , and returning to Stockholm in the following year. Tengmalm then became medical officer for V stmanland . He contributed papers on both medicine and ornithology to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences , becoming a member in 1797. He died of dysentery , which he caught from his patients during an epidemic. Tengmalm was interested in owl s and improved upon Carolus Linnaeus Linnaeus owl classification in a paper to the Academy of Sciences. Johann Friedrich Gmelin named an owl after him in 1788 Strix tengmalmi in the mistaken belief that Tengmalm had been the first to describe it. It has since been renamed Aegolius funereus , but the common name, Tengmalm s Owl , persists.
