Innovative as a taxidermist and photographer, Carl Akeley was also a skilled sculptor. His bronze groups of animals are displayed throughout the American Museum of Natural History in New York where he was an associate curator in the Preparation and Mammology departments.

In 1921, Akeley traveled to the Virunga Mountains in the Belgian Congo for gorilla specimens for a diorama exhibit in the American Museum. When he killed the first gorilla, it was a defining moment as he looked into the e (showing 500 of 1215 characters).
