Incorrect guess but thinking on the right lines.
Indian rhino because it is called Rhinoceros unicornis?
Nope 
not Indian Rhino either.

Suuure you can't give any other hints?
Entirely sure 
you seem to have descended to guessing random species rather than thinking of something which fits the riddle, so I shall reiterate:
In the woodlands, a horse
As noted above, your reasoning for Nilgai was the closest you have got to thinking on the right lines.

*Explodes into 1,000,000 pieces*
I'm not sure that was a clue. I think he actually exploded.
I'm not cleaning the mess
As for kiang's riddle...... the reference to a "son of Sabrosa" almost certainly refers to Ferdinand Magellan, who came from this province of Portugal. The reference to nectar would tend to rule out the most obvious taxon which is named for this explorer, the Magellanic Penguin, but certainly fits with the Magellan Birdwing (Troides magellanus), a species of butterfly. I haven't a clue whether or not this taxon is *at* Bronx, but it's worth a try.
As such, my guess is Magellan Birdwing.
