Crossword Genius

A zoologist pleasing everybody (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

goodall

'a zoologist' is the definition.
(I know that Goodall is a zoologist)

'pleasing everybody' is the wordplay.
'pleasing' becomes 'good' (similar in meaning).
'everybody' becomes 'all' (all people).
'good'+'all'='GOODALL'
