See Buzzi, Jérôme. Intrinsic ergodicity of smooth interval maps. Israel J. Math. 100 (1997), 125--161. And also Yomdin, Y. Volume growth and entropy. Israel J. Math. 57 (1987), no. 3, 285--300.

M. Misiurewicz [1] built Cr 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][1,1], x12x2. Indeed, for any ϵ>0, the "entropy below scale ϵ" is positive. This can be shown by considering an orbit visiting (ϵ/2,ϵ/4)(ϵ/4,ϵ/2) with positive frequency.

On the other hand, the weaker property of asymptotic entropy-expansiveness, i.e., that the "entropy below scale ϵ" converges to zero as ϵ goes to 0, holds for every C-map of a compact manifold and in particular for any real-analytic map [2]. For more precise results, see [3] and [4].
