This scary, vicious and quite possibly dangerous 22 foot bronze on stone statue is located in front of The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia across the street from Logan Circle and was installed April 29, 1987.
There are scores and scores of waymarks all within .1 mile. This is the richest area I have visited for waymarking.
