In an Advanced start in Ancient Era (CIV4 BTS latest patch), with over 1000 points, the computer will often start with some crazy stuff that it doesn't even have the tech OR resources for. I have seen the AI start with animals in their towns, and mechanized infantry.
It's always great to declare war on your foe early on to discover they are being protected by a modern era unit.
Additional info:
I was playing a small mod that I had made, HOWEVER, I did not change anything that would have lead to this. I suppose I should check to see if this bug is available in reg Civ BTS
Has this happened to anyone else or just me? I should also mention that the iAdvancedStartCost was -1 for the animals that the computer somehow was able to have in their hometowns. So was the iCost, so it seems to be centered around advanced start "automate" programming glitch.
NOTE: I was also able to recreate the glitch with ME starting with animals when I hit the automate button.

I cannot replicate this in unmodded BtS - are you sure it is not your mod?
