A full side view of a recently captured young bull elephant. Josef J. Fénykövi sent a series of images in February 1958 of a young (15-18 years old) bull elephant, captured in Angola a few days before the photographs were taken, to Dr. Remington Kellogg, director of the United States National Museum (USNM), to help the USNM taxidermists in their preparation of a model, on which to mount the skin of a bull elephant donated by Fénykövi to the Smithsonian Institution, for display in the Rotunda of the Natural History Building.
