Painting Animal

Who is a famous painter that paints animal pictures?

I’m trying to create a unit plan for a project in an art curriculum class, and I’m trying to find a famous painter who tends to paint wildlife animals. Any suggestions?

There is a long list of animal painters at wikipedia with links to articles on them. A lot of painters did animals but they were domesticated ones. You’ll have to run through the links.
