2nd century
In about 120 AD, the Tenth Doctor learned that Roman authorities kept giraffes as a part of a menagerie that included leopards, elephants and a wide range of other, chiefly African, animals. Some of the beasts were kept for hunting, and others were used to face off against prisoners in local arenas. The Doctor was incensed by the practice, because he knew it would lead to the extinction of several of the species. (PROSE: )
