This list is an obvious collection of the Old World domesticated animals. While there is an outside chance that the Jaredite barges carried breeding populations of these large mammals, realistically, by this point in time, any imported animals would have either become a major food source for the entire region or they would have died out. However, there is currently no accepted evidence that these animals lived in Mesoamerica from 1100 B.C. forward. (See commentary accompanying Enos 1:20–21.) This passage and its counterparts in the Nephite record are best seen as Joseph Smith’s replacement of whatever was on the record with animals from his own environment.
