      Since Japan's history is actually much more recent compared to China, the animals that people saw in old Japan that are extinct, are much, much more recently extinct. Like the Japanese wolf, which was only exterminated in the Meiji period.
      The Jomon probably saw a lot more extinct animals, but the Jomon aren't exactly what most people think of when they think old Japan lol

    Interesting fact: Just like Poland is the last refuge for the European Bison, it was the same for the Aurochs too. The last Aurochs to ever exist was a lonely female who died in 1627 in Jawtorók forest, Kingdom of Poland; King Sigismund III honoured her death by covering her horns with gold. The skull was kept as a national treasure in the city till the Swedes invaded the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during The Deluge Wars and was looted by the Royal Army of Sweden. Nowadays a monument in Jaktorók tells the story and the skull is currently located in Stockholm.

    7:20 Predators have always been an issue that armies have had to deal with. Especially with the amount of carrion they generate.
    Famously in February 1917, the Eastern Front reportedly declared a cease fire to deal with a superpack of wolves. And despite having machine guns, hand grenades and rifles, they still couldn’t get rid of the wolves.
    And when you consider those armies had access to modern tech and still couldn’t deal with the problem, imagine what an ancient era army had to deal with.

    The North African Elephant was smaller than the Indian Elephant because there are many accounts of them being terrified at the size of the latter which the west Asian successor states used, such as the Seleucids.

    Also, I think that’s funny how Xerxes was taken aback by lion attacks. It’s not like his kingdom didn’t have the Asiatic/Persian lion, _Panthera Leo persicus_ in a greater population than today. Now they’re isolated to Gujarat, in west India. But the Asiatic subspecies’ bloodlines definitely influenced the lions of Anatolia, the Levant, and the eastern Mediterranean.

    The ancient Greek authors believed that the African elephant was smaller than the Asiatic one, which sounds a bit odd at first.
    But they were actually writing about the north African elephant which was indeed smaller. The African elephant we know today wasn't known to the ancient Greek and Roman world due to the barrier that the Sahara desert posed.

    I definitely think it would be interesting if these animals were still alive today. I wish they could be -- but it is interesting to reflect on the fact that many of these species actively preyed on humans. The humans of that time probably weren't thinking "oh let's protect these beautiful animals."
