Wrestling Leopards, Felling Apes: A Life In Taxidermy

Wrestling Leopards, Felling Apes: A Life In Taxidermy
Interesting Issues Related To Life / Culture

It might sound like a topic for dusty academic journals, but taxidermy -- at least the way Carl Akeley practiced it -- was full of exotic safaris, brutal killing and bloody encounters with the very creatures he was trying to preserve. Akeley is the subject of Jay Kirk's new book, Kingdom Under Glass.
