Oops i goofed. I didn't include my return address in my original 
posting. So here it goes again.
              
Sorry guys..

**************************************************************************

Hello there,

   I am sorry if this question has passed through this group before,
but I have a dollar riding on this bet.

   The other day, my friend and I were watching the movie 'The gods 
must be crazy', and there was a scene in which the hero and heroine
build a fire during the night in the african jungle, and a rhino on
seeing the fire charges out and puts the fire out by trampling it.
And then .... In the next scene the hero tries to explain to the
terrified heroine, the rhinos are some sort of firefighters of the
jungle, which the herione refuses to believe.

   Anyway, the question is "Do rhinos actually put out fires?"

Any information (including sources, if possible), opinions will be
gladly appreciated.

P.S: I bet it is true. I vaguely remember reading it in the book
     "The African Adventure" (I think) by Willard Price when I was
     in grade school.
