I'm guessing wall of antiquity equals temple and the breath equals mist so my guess is white-lipped pitviper.

Smaug the Magnificent?
There's been quite a few demolitions in chester's history, but i'm going to randomly guess sumatran orangutan, as the parrot house was demolished to build RotRA
I think this might be a spiritual question.
"Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho . . . and the walls came tumblin' down." As Sister Mahalia, and many others, sang.
My scriptural knowledge is rather rusty, but I do recall that ram's horn trumpets were Joshua's secret weapons and I bet that there are thousands of ramshorn snails in the tanks, moats, ponds and the canal at Chester (a big one would be a crunchy snack for a Guiana dragon too).

None of you are right as yet, but I do like the thinking behind Swampy and Gentle Lemur's guesses 
Malayan tapir because when you see them and they smell horrible and they can be found near temples.
When I proposed my new rule, I was implied that your reasons had to make sense and actually match the answers you post "guys" (and you know who you are when I say "guys")

I'm the starter of thread but I'll think about it, so the rule is not overall.
Being the starter does not make you the dictator
As Chlidonias said people can make the rule for their own each individual rounds if necessary but I think you'll find almost everyone playing will do so
~Thylo
No one's got it yet. But I definitely want people's reasoning, and I want the reasoning to actually bear some relationship to both the hint and the species being suggested
I think you've killed the tread TLD 
We badly need an extra clue.

Asian Elephant.
Not sure why but it popped into my head initially but I could not put a serious reason why. With the Rome clue my link to my answer is Hannibal. Albeit they may not have been Asian! In addition I suspected you may have thrown in a wacky riddle for a zoo favourite species. ?

Not Asian Elephant though I like your thinking; the famous elephants of Hannibal comprised the now-extinct African taxon Loxodonta africana pharaoensis - which may merit full species status - along with a single Asian individual called Surus belonging to the also-extinct taxon Elephas maximus asurus.
Remember that my first clue also still applies
