An image depicts a taxidermy exhibit within the Akeley Hall of African Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, United States. The primary subjects are multiple life-sized African elephant mounts. In the foreground, a large adult African elephant, characterized by its textured grey hide, large ears, and two prominent, curved yellowish tusks, faces directly towards the viewer. To its left, a smaller elephant calf mount, also with visible tusks, is partially obscured by the adult. Additional elephant mounts are discernible in the midground, contributing to a herd arrangement on a raised, dark grey, sandy-textured display platform. The background features a curved, panoramic painted diorama depicting an expansive African savanna landscape with distant trees. Several indistinct human figures are visible in the far background, silhouetted against the diorama and observing the exhibit from behind a low barrier. A small black sign with white text, partially legible as "PLEASE", is positioned at the base of the display platform in the lower foreground. Overhead artificial lighting illuminates the scene.
