There is some confusion about what exactly Linnaeus conceived under this name as this species was probably based upon the skull of a single-horned Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), with a second horn artificially added by the collector.
Ka disa konfuzion rreth asaj që pikërisht Linnaeus kishte konceptuar me këtë emër, pasi kjo specie është bazuar ndoshta mbi kafkën e një rinoceronti indian ( Rhinoceros unicornis ), me një bri të dytë artificialisht shtuar nga koleksionist.
