Hannibal set off from Spain with 37 elephants. There are disagreements among the sources about the number of elephants which survived the snow and ice of the crossing. They range between 20 and 3. Ancient historian Livy said that Hannibal got two groups of elephants to attack the Romans in the battle of Trebbia after the crossing. He also said that after that he tried to cross the Apennine Mountains to get to Etruria, but was caught in a cold snap and a snow storm. The seven elephants which had survived the mentioned battle died. Other sources say that Hannibal still had one elephant when he travelled further south in Italy.
