This is an article that claims that Hannibal's elephants were clearly a forest subspecies of African elephants. It claims that this subspecies did not go extinct until the 1st or 2nd century AD. It does not have a bibliography, so I don't know where the research is from. An internet search gives me this same article over and over again. There are still elephants that are called "forest elephants," but it looks like Hannibal's elephants were a separate subspecies. Maybe Hannibal contributed to their extinction.
