    M. Misiurewicz [misiurewicz1973NoMME] built $C^r$ diffeomorphisms without measures maximizing the entropy. These were the first known examples of non entropy-expansive maps. Nowadays, it is easy to construct a real- analytic example, e.g., the map $f:[-1,1]\to[-1,1]$, $x\mapsto 1-2x^2$. Indeed, for any $\epsilon>0$, the “entropy below scale $\epsilon$” is positive. This can be shown by considering an orbit visiting $(-\epsilon/2,-\epsilon/4)\cup(\epsilon/4,\epsilon/2)$ with positive frequency. On the other hand, the weaker property of asymptotic entropy- expansiveness, i.e., that the “entropy below scale $\epsilon$” converges to zero as $\epsilon$ goes to $0$, holds for every $C^\infty$-map of a compact manifold and in particular for any real-analytic map [buzzi1997intrinsic] . For more precise results, see [yomdin1991analytic] and [burguet2015entropyRate] .
