The Fauna of Atlantis as described by Plato has done little to pinpoint its location and is clearly a subject for further investigation. In Critias he refers to ‘flocks’ (111c) implying sheep and/or goats; bees (111c), elephants (114e); horses (117b); bulls (119d). He also mentions sable clothing (120b) but these were possibly imported.
The most problematic of these is the reference to elephants, a term that could be applied to a number of related species including mastodons, mammoths, the Indian, the African and dwarf elephants. The habitat of these creatures stretched from Siberia as far south as the equator. The remains of dwarf elephants have been on the islands of the Mediterranean from Sardinia to Cyprus.
