Hannibal crossed the Strait of Gibraltar by leading his army, including war elephants, from the Iberian Peninsula into North Africa during his campaign against Rome in the Second Punic War. He transported the elephants and troops across the strait using ships, specifically adapted to accommodate the large animals. The crossing was a strategic maneuver that allowed him to position his forces for a surprise attack against Rome from the north. Hannibal's successful crossing is celebrated as a remarkable feat of military logistics and determination.
