Chuck Ripper (American, B. 1929) "African Elephant" Signed lower right. Original Gouache painting on Masonite.Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the United Nations Endangered Species Series 32c African Elephant stamp issued March 13, 1997. The largest living land animal, the African elephant may reach a height of 13 feet at the shoulder and weigh up to eight tons. Its varied habitat includes thick jungle forests, as well as wooded savannas. This magnificent animal may eat over 500 pounds of solid food each day, feeding on grasses and other plants, including the fruit of various palm trees. During dry spells, the African elephant eats the spongy wood of the bamboo tree, which provides necessary water. Where food is abundant, these animals congregate in herds, but they are usually seen in small family groups led by old cows. The bulls often dwell in bachelor herds apart from the cows and young. African elephants have been victimized by poachers who hunt them for their valuable ivory tusks, resulting in significant reduction of the population. Farms and villages have usurped much of the elephant's grazing land, depriving this huge creature of its natural habitat. Consequently, the African elephant is a protected species. Although it has increased in numbers in wildlife reserves, overpopulation often occurs in these areas, resulting in further habitat loss, as well as the need for population control. Conservation measures include developing larger wildlife reserves and protecting the African elephant from poaching. There is also a need to protect major migratory routes.
