Hannibal´s North African Elephant didn´t die out 2nd century AC.

What if Hannibal´s little (2,50 m) Elephants, who might have been a subspecies or different species of African Elephant survived into the Renaissance and further (we should have the Roman Empire not slaying big mammals for entertainment). They were pretty tameable , so of what use could they have been for different cultures/Empires. Imagine the Vandals use them and breed them and encounter Byzantine with them.
