Here is a massive pumpkin elephant which weighs almost 400 kilograms and took over 18 hours to be completed by the talented sculptors of an American company called “Pumpkin Sculpt USA”. The beautiful sculpture was created to create greater public awareness to the fact that approximately 96 elephants are killed every day as a result of illegal ivory poaching.

The Creation Process of the Pumpkin Elephant.

It all begins with an artist’s sketch and rendering of the completed elephant.

Finding the correct size of large pumpkins for this creation is a challenge!

The preparation process for such a process takes a long time!

This process required hours of painstaking work.

Here are some of the photos of the pumpkin carving process.

The carving is finally finished!

The accuracy and detail of the carving can be clearly seen in the details of the elephant’s eye shown here.

What did you think?

The skill and ability by these craftsmen to create such a beautifully designed elephant is truly remarkable!
