 Dio notes a hunt involving cranes and another involving four elephants, and Martial mentions elephants, lions, leopards, at least one tiger, hares, pigs, bulls, bears, wild boar, a rhinoceros, buffalo and bison (most likely the wisent).Other exotic animals may have been used but are not mentioned; ostriches, camels and crocodiles were commonly used in the games.Giraffes are unlikely to have been featured; Julius Caesar had brought a single giraffe to Rome in 46 BC.
