2. My mind immediately linked this with Mark Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn”, my memory of which is rather tattered, but do I not recall two ‘scalawags’ that put on some sort of stage show under the title of The Royal Nonsuch?  I wonder of Twain was referring to this?

3. No, Twain wrote about the Thrilling Tragedy of the King’s Cameleopard, the royal nonsuch. An animal that never existed. That’s the tragedy. It was a con on the locals.

   Interestingly, the giraffe is actually named a cameleopard, as it has a camel’s hump, a leopard’s spot, and some kind of horns on its head. And while it is an actual creature, it seems to be straight out of a middle ages bestiary; a creature of pure imagination. If you never saw one yourself, you wouldn’t believe they existed either.
