Who used elephants in battle during the battle of Zama

carthaginians made a force of 80 eliphants

Explanation:

Elephants were a key part of the Carthaginian forces throughout the Punic Wars. Most of the elephants that were used by Carthage were Loxodana cyclotis, sometimes called African Forest Elephants, and were slightly smaller than African Elephants that inhabit savannahs today.

African Forest Elephants were common in the areas around Carthage, so they were captured and trained for combat. There may have been up to 300 elephants in the stables at Carthage!

When Hannibal crossed the Alps, there were 37 elephants in his army (possibly including Surus). When the army arrived in Italy they fought a battle with the Romans on the banks of the Trebia River. When the Roman soldiers saw the elephants, they were so terrified that Carthage had an advantage, and won a decisive victory.

However, just after the battle near the Trebia in December, almost all of the elephants died. It is unclear how this happened, but it could have been due to a disease, exhaustion from the crossing and the battle, wounds sustained while fighting, or the rain and snow that hit the battlefield the night after the battle. Due to the cold weather, many men and horses also died of cold in the aftermath.

Carthaginian war elephants engage Roman infantry at the Battle of Zama (202 BC).
