pachyderms
Elephants and rhinos
Pachyderms are thick-skinned mammals—elephants, rhinoceroses, and hippopotamuses.
The term comes from Greek words meaning "thick skin" and was once a formal zoological category, though modern taxonomy has abandoned it.
The word persists in general usage, especially for elephants: The circus pachyderms paraded trunk to tail.
