Great CC, I forgot the Rhino!

Nice find.

Nice! That is a long list!!
The Rhino? Shouldn't it do some justice to the name?It sounds as if it is a a big masculine SUV and it turns out to be a Qualis mated with an Omni.

Yeti can not be termed exactly as an Animal.

PS: Mercury Monarch is another addition to the list.

Yeti's were first considered as a myth but some sources say that people have found it's foot prints in the mountains.

Yeti. hmmm.

.
Yes,as much I remember,Yeti is a mythical dragon type animal which lives in water,I mean something which has the mouth of a dragon,body of a snake with fins on it.
Example:If anyone has seen a cartoon called 'pokemon' on cartoon network then there was a pokemon called 'gyarados' in it,it looked like this myth called 'Yeti'

How about the Bajaj Cub, Bajaj Chetak and the Standard Gazel.
