Because of their size, elephants have long been irresistible for kings as symbols of eminence. In early civilizations-such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus civilization, and China-elephants were used for royal sacrifice, spectacular hunts, public displays, and their ivory-all aspects driving them toward extinction. The kings of India, however, Thomas Trautmann shows, found a use for elephants that actually helped preserve their habitat and numbers in the wild: war.
