Description

The African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the
largest terrestrial animal, with males reaching 13ft at the shoulder and
weighing up to 14,000lbs. Their large ears help them stay cool in the
African heat and their trunks contain more muscles than a human’s entire
body. Females are pregnant for 22 months, the longest gestation period
of any mammal. Calves take many years to grow up. Females will stay with
the herd for their entire life, while males leave the herd at around
8-12. They join other young males to form a bachelor herd until they
reach their adult size.

Fitz was his mother Mikki’s
second calf. He was a spirited little trouble-maker who didn’t always
listen to his mother and Auntie Punch, but his love of life captured the
hearts of everyone who knew him. Unfortunately, a few months before his
4th birthday, he tested positive for EEHV, a deadly hemorrhagic disease
more common to Asian elephants, but appearing more frequently in
African elephants. Despite immediate treatment and transfusions provided
by other nearby zoos, he succumbed a few days later.

Features:

• The frames are made of aluminum and are available in the color black.
• They are approximately 20mm /0.8″ thick and 10mm /0.4″ wide, providing the perfect balance of durability and style.
• To keep your poster looking its best, we use shatterproof, transparent plexiglass to protect it from damage.
• We include hanging hardware with every order, making it easy to hang the frame in both horizontal and vertical orientations.
• Our matte paper is uncoated and natural white (off-white). The 250 gsm/ 110lb paper is perfect for fine art, designed to last for years without losing its original beauty.
• With alkaline papermaking technology, this poster is acid-free, meaning the pH of the pulp that is used to form the paper is above 7 (neutral). The paper is also buffered with an alkaline reserve, such as calcium carbonate, to neutralize acid compounds absorbed from the atmosphere or formed through natural aging. This ensures that your poster will last many years without any yellowing or discoloration.
• Our poster is free from or low in OBA (optical brightener additives). This ensures that the natural white color of the paper remains consistent under different lighting conditions. In contrast, the color of papers that contain optical brighteners can shift depending on the light source. Additionally, the color of OBA-free paper remains more consistent over time, so you can enjoy the poster for years without any shifts.
