Hannibal's army crossed the Alps with elephants.
Hannibal invaded Italy. He brought 32 elephants with him. The elephants were war elephants and were brought to use them to attack the Roman armies, not to cross the Alps, which was a difficult feat for these animals which were gigantic and from very hot climates. Most of his elephants (if not all of them) died while crossing the Alps in the snowy winter.

Hannibal went over the Alps. He even took elephants with him.
He lost about 75% of his elephants due to harsh weather conditions and the route over the Alps.
