OBHIOUSLY!!!! people with elephants
The alps.
Of about 40 elephants he took over the Alps, I believe all but one were smaller, Indian elephants with the one, larger, African elephant, being the exception.
The Carthaginian general Hannibal (247 – 182 BC) led 38,000 infantry, 8,000 cavalry, and 37 war elephants across the alps as part of the Second Punic War in Italy, in the winter of 218 BC. Many did not survive the conditions and skirmishes, arriving in the area of Turin with half the originally reported force.
