Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This book introduces the African and Asian elephants (including the African Pygmy elephant), and the prehistoric ancestors of these elephants. Elephants have historically been used in carrying out punishment and used in war, particularly Hannibal and Kublai Khan. This book also has a brief history of the elephant's presence in Europe and their role in temples and festivals.
