Indian rhinoceros
Indian rhinoceros n. a large one-horned rhinoceros, Rhinoceros unicornis, with prominent skin folds and a prehensile upper lip, found in north-east India and Nepal. In quot. 1760 the animal designated an African rhinoceros could plausibly be describing an Indian rhinoceros, while the supposed Indian rhinoceros of this text has possibly been confused with a mythical creature, being described as having three horns, and scales.
