Carl Akeley And The Leopard That Attacked Him
In our opinion, taxidermy is a fascinating profession in and of itself. Carl Akeley is cooler than most people! During his African safaris, the jack of all trades had numerous encounters with wild animals. He was very serious about his job. He didn’t just use whatever he had on hand to stuff the skins. Instead, he examined their bodies to ensure the accuracy of the final products. While hunting for ostriches in Somaliland in 1896, he came face to face with a leopard. After a life-or-death battle, he barely made it out alive.
