Hannibal probably crossed the Alps with elephants. That’s what it says at least in the tradition.

Some of the elephants survived and was used in the battle at the Trebia. A year later, however, only one elephant was alive.

Correct. The Romans have reacted quite panically to the elephants, as they were not known that these animals are used as a war animal.

It’s a myth.

The Romans already knew war elephants, e.g. Pyrrhic War 280 – 275 V. Cr. At the time there was an alliance between Rome and Carthage.

Hannibals Alps crossing 218 BC in the second Pun war Only a few animals survived until winter and played no final role in the war.
