On the question about rhinos brought up by the film "The Gods Must Be
Crazy", it is my considered opinion, as someone who has lived in the
woods of New England and observed North American wildlife, that all
wild animals are afraid of fire. My friends and I discussed that scene
after seeing the film. We concluded that the rhino was a dummy (fake)
and that the scene was not to be taken seriously, as was much of the
slapstick in the movie.
