Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that wild elephants currently live in the countries of Europe?

No. A Wikipedia history states that after prehistoric extinctions the presence of actual elephants in Europe was only due to importation, and an 18th-century text asserts wild elephants are found only in very hot countries. Together these indicate no wild elephants currently live in European countries.
