Perhaps the elephant was still a juvenile or it had the equivalent of dwarfism in humans, but for elephants.
Either that, or they bred elephants back then until they became very small not unlike ponies. Less likely perhaps.
- iSnow 11y ago>they bred elephants back then until they became very small not unlike ponies. Unlikely, considering the images of the elephant with a guy sitting on its back. Looks like a honest-to-god Indian elephant. Most likely, the size got lost in translation between whatever measuring system they had in the 16th century, SI and those measuring units from the colonies.
