Some animals ARE pachyderms, others ARE REGARDED as pachyderms? Your opinion please. (Please, Chirac apart). | ||

Are you speaking literally (pachyderm means "thick skinned")? If so, I would say elephant, rhino and hippo. Regards, Terry | |||

Yes, I believe hogs are pachyderms. Often one hears the Cape buffalo referred to as "thick skinned" game. I don't believe that the Cape buffalo is a true pachyderm, however. Regards, Terry | |||

Interesting question, the answer I found is which by definition includes many animals Well, "pachy" means "thick," and "derm" means "skin." So these are the thick-skinned animals of Africa. The three most famous pachyderms all live in Africa. They are the elephant, rhinoceros, and the hippopotamus. | |||

Mice too! Somone told me they are related to elephants! Come to think of it, if the questions is about "thick skinned" creatures, then all Africans hunters qualify too! | |||

Man, Was I out in left field on this question. I should be ashamed since I sling the Latin and Greek around every day at work. I immediately was thinking "BIG". My second thought was my God son's wife, but, when I saw the thick skinned part, I knew that she was excluded. ![]() JCN | |||
