Talk:Elephants in ancient China

When?
When did they go extinct? It mentions before 14th century but list Guangxi as the last place they were sited; Guangxi was not part of China during the 14th century or most of Southern China for that matter. So is it talking about a later date.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:48, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * There would have been no recorded sightings of the Chinese elephant anywhere, let alone in the region of modern Guangxi, sometime before the 14th century BC as there are no written records from that time (earliest oracle bone script is no earlier than C14th BC). I suspect the Guangxi mention refers to the Indian elephant. BabelStone (talk) 12:33, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Merge with Palaeoloxodon antiquus

 * Now moot as the article has been renamed, and focus is now on the role of the elephant in ancient China rather than the particular species of elephant. BabelStone (talk) 09:09, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
