The Fighting African Elephants

In 1905, Marshall Field funded taxidermist, Carl Akeley’s trip to Africa where he killed two African Bull Elephants. Akeley took the elephant skins back to the Field Museum and created one of his most notable works and one of the Field Museum’s symbols. Akeley’s work, The Fighting African Elephants, is still seen today in the Field Museum’s Stanley Field Hall.
