Why does everyone act so fucking stupid about this? There are tame animals of nearly every fucking species in zoos right now. There are tame giant fucking crocodiles people swim with.

It's exactly what he asked. He and every redditard just don't realize it. Animals are easy to tame, you just have to have a fucking soul and be smarter than the fucking animal, which swarthoids aren't. Jared Diamond (a jew) has poisoned so many western minds with his made up horseshit it's fucking unreal.
do people really believe hannibal somehow marched a bunch of elephants through spain, southern france, then over the alps into northern italy?
it's obviously made up bullshit propaganda by the romans to make them seem cooler by defeating the mighty carthaginians

the same ways used by indians, it takes patience but it's a smart animal. also they were mostly used to disrupt enemy formations, nothing too complicated.

He did. But what people often fail to mention is that most of them died by the time he reached the Alps.
>>5022365 (OP) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_African_elephant >The North African elephant (Loxodonta africana pharaohensis) is an extinct subspecies of the African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), or possibly a separate elephant species, that existed in North Africa, north of the Sahara, until it died out in Roman times. These were the famous war elephants used by Carthage in the Punic Wars, their conflict with the Roman Republic. >Carthaginian frescoes[10] and coins[5] minted by whoever controlled North Africa at various times show very small elephants, perhaps 2.5 metres (8 ft 2 in) at the shoulder, with the large ears and concave back typical of modern African elephants. Contemporary writers noted that the North African elephant was smaller than the Indian elephant.[11] This suggests that the North African elephant was smaller than extant African bush elephants (L. a. africana), possibly similar in size to the modern African forest elephant (L. cyclotis).[12]
