虎豹(百貌反說文似虎圓文也經文有作虎兕辭里反山海經兕似牛蒼黑色郭璞曰兕一角重千斤似犀古音義云皮䩕堪作甲是也)。

Tigers and leopards (虎豹: the latter character 豹 is *b[ǎi]-m[ào]* fanqie. The *Shuowen jiezi* says: "Resembles a tiger with circular markings." In some sūtra texts it is written 虎兕 [*ci-li* fanqie; the *Shanhaijing* says the *si* resembles an ox and is dark blackish-blue; Guo Pu says the *si* has one horn, weighs a thousand catties, and resembles a rhinoceros; an ancient glossary says its hide is tough and suitable for armor, which is correct]).
