The Second Punic War broke out in 218 BC after Hannibal's great Army made the famous military exploit of carrying war to Italy by crossing the Alps with approximatively 37 North African war elephants.
The fate of these elephants is tragic. Most died from the cold or from lack of food in the Alps, and the rest died in the first battle of Trebbia in Italy.
They were drunk and wore heavy armor for combat.
This species of North African elephant no longer exists, they were supposed to be smaller than any elephant we know of at the time.

The Southern Alps are a mountain range extending along much of the length of New Zealand's South Island, reaching its greatest elevations near the range's western side. The name "Southern Alps" generally refers to the entire range, although separate names are given to many of the smaller ranges that form part of it.
