Theodore Roosevelt on African Expedition

Former President Teddy Roosevelt went on his own safari to eastern Africa — and the list of casualties is positively massive, with more than 500 kills shot by him and his son. In his 1910 book, African Game Trails; An Account of the African Wanderings of an American Hunter-Naturalist, Roosevelt presents the 512-animal tally for himself and his son.
The list included 17 lions, 29 zebras, 27 gazelles, 9 black and white monkeys, 8 hippopotami, 2 ostriches, A pelican, 4 crocodiles, multiple birds.

This massive safari was actually billed as a conservation mission. Though Roosevelt took a lot of pride describing the thrill of the hunt, he included the following paragraph in his book:' Kermit and I kept about a dozen trophies for ourselves; otherwise we shot nothing that was not used either as a museum specimen or for meat...the mere size of the bag indicates little as to a man's prowess as a hunter, and almost nothing as to the interest or value of his achievement.'
