nah

hannibal really thought this through

snow angels but for elephants

elephants just wanted to nap

‘hannibal’s crossing’ would be a horror movie

imagine the memes back then

the troops were like ‘wtf’

alpine goats: 1, hannibal: 0

haha

goats would’ve handled it better

wait what about the goats

they didn’t sign up for this

elephants are just big dogs

someone’s gonna die

hannibal’s plan: ‘let’s go over a mountain’

snow in july is wild

did they even have snacks

like weeks of suffering

the crossing took forever right

elephants just wanted warm vibes

hannibal’s vibes: ‘hold my wine’

like who thought this was a good idea

they were probably freezing

wait what about the troops

idk if i’d survive that

snow everywhere

imagine being an elephant in the alps

lol

elephants were not happy

alpine crossing was brutal huh
