Open research question
What terms did Nandi and neighboring communities originally use for the creatures later grouped under the English label “Nandi Bear,” and did those terms actually describe the same being?
A source, research note, or further-reading link closes this question when staff accept it. Evidence and corrections stay attached for staff and do not close it by themselves.
Staff review every contribution before it is added to the file. A correction is a proposal: accepting it does not replace the official record. Rejected items are handled like rejected case submissions.
