Frederick Courteney Selous, DSO (31 December 1851 – 4 January 1917),

• British explorer, officer, hunter, and conservationist, famous for his exploits in Southeast Africa.

His real-life adventures inspired Sir Henry Rider Haggard to create the fictional Allan Quatermain character.[1][2] Selous was also a friend of Theodore Roosevelt, Cecil Rhodes and Frederick Russell Burnham. He was pre-eminent within a select group of big game hunters that included Abel Chapman and Arthur Henry Neumann. He was the older brother of ornithologist and writer Edmund Selous.
