From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Kirin beast Chinese

I replaced "Japanese" with "Chinese" so that the first line is:

For the mythical beast of Chinese culture see Qilin.

Because the Japanese article starts by saying "The Kirin is a Chinese imaginary animal".

and also the word for giraffe in the Ming Dynasty...

Um, maybe it's just me, but why would the Ming Dynasty have a word for giraffe? Isn't the giraffe an African critter?
