War pigs are pigs reported to have been used in ancient warfare as military animals, mostly as a countermeasure against war elephants.Wikipedia: War pig
In the first century BC, Lucretius[1] noted that humans may have attempted to launch wild beasts, such as lions or "savage boars", against the enemy, but with catastrophic results. In 272 BC, it was recorded that the Romans used wild boars in their fight against the war elephants of the Tarantines.[2]
According to legend recounted in the "Alexander Romance" by Pseudo-Callisthenes,[3] Alexander the Great learned about this "secret weapon" against war elephants from Porus in India.[4]
Pliny the Elder reported that "elephants are scared by the smallest squeal of the hog".[5] Aelian[6] confirmed that elephants were frightened by squealing pigs (and rams with horns), and reported that the Romans exploited squealing pigs (and rams) to repel the war elephants of Pyrrhus in 275 BC. Procopius, in History of the Wars,[7] records that the defenders of Edessa suspended a squealing pig from the walls to frighten away Khosrau's single siege elephant in the sixth century AD.[8]
