[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Nodnarb: [qb] I recall reading somewhere that the ancient Greeks and Romans tended to assume everything was bigger in India, as if it were like Texas. If so, that might account for Polybius's claim that Indian elephants had to be bigger than their African brethren. Regardless, I always found the identification of North African elephants as forest elephants rather nonsensical. If any elephants in Africa could thrive in the deserts and scrublands of North Africa, it'd be the bush elephants, not those adapted to living in humid jungles.
