Lieutenant Colonel Herbert Francis Fenn DSO was a British military officer and big game hunter who led a 1926 expedition to what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in search of mountain gorillas (a specimen of which he acquired for London's Natural History Museum) and living dinosaurs,[1] partially inspired by the account of a fellow big-game hunter who gave him an account of the irizima of Lake Edward.[2] Fenn wrote that "the most thrilling part of our expedition will be our attempt to solve the long-existing problem of certain unknown species of animals which the natives say live in unexplored areas".[3] Before setting out, he was photographed with the Crystal Palace dinosaurs.
