[edit] Tapir

What exactly is the relationship between the baku and the tapir? The Japanese Wikipedia article on tapirs uses the same Chinese character. — Pekinensis 05:52, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Japanese names many same name on mythical and real animals. The Japanese text for Kirin is the same as giraffe. How do you explain that? I thought if you can share your name with a vegetable, you would know what is going on.  :-) Kowloonese 07:19, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
