Arrangements have been made in recent years for American boot makers to legally obtain the hides of elephants and hippos that die or have to be destroyed. This provides direct funding for the African game parks and provides the boot makers with some very unique leather. Elephant and hippopotamus are tough but comfortable wearing. In appearance they have heavy grain and texture. Durability is excellent. Thickness is moderate to thick.
