These were the famous war elephants used by Carthage in the Punic Wars, their conflict with the Roman Republic. Although the subspecies has been formally described,〔Nowak, Ronald M. (1999), ''Walker's Mammals of the World'', 6th edition, Baltimore and London: The Johns Hopkins University Press, pp 1002.〕〔Yalden, D.W., M.J. Largen and D. Kock (1986), ''Catalogue of the Mammals of Ethiopia. 6. Perissodactyla, Proboscidea, Hyracoidea, Lagomorpha, Tubulidentata, Sirenia, and Cetacea'', Italian J. Zool., Suppl., n.s., 21:31-103.〕 it has not been widely recognized by taxonomists. Other names for this animal include the North African forest elephant, Carthaginian elephant, and Atlas elephant. Originally, its natural range probably extended across North Africa and down to the present Sudanese and Eritrean coasts. ==Description== Carthaginian frescoes〔(tunisie : Tunisie, Carthage, la ville disparue )〕 and coins minted by whoever controlled North Africa at various times show very small (perhaps at the shoulder) elephants with the large ears and concave back typical of modern ''Loxodonta''. The North African elephant was smaller than the modern African bush elephant (''L. a. africana''), probably similar in size to the modern African forest elephant (''L. cyclotis''). It is also possible that it was more docile and plainer than the African bush elephant, which is generally untamable, allowing the Carthaginians to tame it by a method now lost to history. Modern scholarship has disputed whether or not Carthaginian elephants were furnished with turrets in combat; despite assertions to the contrary, the evidence indicates that African forest elephants could and did carry turrets in certain military contexts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North African elephant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
