Largely nonsense. Ibn Battuta in his book of travels, calls a creature he saw in India karkadann, interpreted as "rhinoceros". From this reference (not even quoted), the remainder is spun out of brain candy.--Wetman 06:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
It seems to match up with what the Elasmotherium page says, except that this page asserts that Elasmotherium was *definitely* the source of Elansk myths, and the other page only calls this a possibility. I've edited the page to make it clear what's historical fact (fossils of Elasmotherium have been found; myths exist) and what's conjecture. JoeNotCharles 16:08, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
