Sometimes animals were chosen not for his ferocity, but for be a never seen kind of animal.
The first time Girafes were seen in games, there causes a great impresion. Romans don't know that animal so they have to create a new word to nominate: camelopardalis, or "stained camel", because the animal more similar in that times were the camel.
At some times animals were trained. In the inauguration of Amphitheatrum Flavium, some elephants make a reverence for the emperor. Roman thinks that were a prodigy, but i prefer to think shows a training.
