Do rhinoceros stamp out fires in the wild?
492977
I collect rhino merchandise, and have always been fascinated with the animal.  I do know they are the only animal on earth who is not scared of fire.  Whether they go out and stamp out fires I do not know.  \n\nI am sure if one is threatened by fire, it will go on the aggressive and attack it, but I don't think they would go running toward one that was far away.  Keep in mind, their sense of eyesight is very poor, and they rely very heavily on their sense of hearing and smell to detect what is around them.

Placentarian mammals do (not the platypus or equidna)

This is a myth. Polar bears are observed using either paw, though I would suppose there are " lefties " and " righties ". They do not cover their noses when hunting, either.

The elephant would win. I saw a documentary not to long ago about rhino killing elephants in a state park in Africa. They were young bulls that had been orphaned and had not been socialized by other elephants. They came into I think they called it "rut" or it had to do with coming into that sexual state prematurely and they killed rhinos. They had to bring in mature bull elephants over forty years old to teach the young ones the ropes and get them out of "rut" (I'm not sure if I'm saying it right.) It worked.

No even though where similar geneticly where not that close. I think the only species that can do that are a zebra/donkey and  donkey/horse

Yes. In addition to their large evergrowing incisors (the tusks), they have massive molars with a crushing surface that looks like one of those old washing tables. They have 6 upper and 6 lower molariforms on each side, but only 2 of them are functioning at a given time. The others are inside the alveoli in the skull and jaw bone and come out after the first ones get completely worn. They don't have more than those 6 replacements, so when their last molars are worn, they cannot grind food (old elephants in zoos need a special soft diet).\n\nHere's a photograph showing the crushing surface of the molar teeth:\nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/skulls/loxodonta/l._africana/163809.tooth.jpg/view.html\n\nAnd a frontal view of the skull with the incisors:\nhttp://www.dundee.ac.uk/museum/zoology/bagful/1971A.JPG

Not necessarily.  We do all those things because protohumans were exposed to evolutionary and selective pressures that lead to creative humans capable of technological advancement.\n\nIf, and that's a big IF, any of those animals you mentioned which that are rather intelligent get exposed to these same selective pressures over a LONG period of time (it took us 2 million years to figure out fire, so it'll be a while), then sure why not.  But the odds of that happening are very small, but you never know, we'll see in 5 million years what happened...\n\nCheers.

Tigers usually hunt in the tall grass (the grass is USUALLY dry, brown yellow). The stripes match the up-and-down pattern of the grass, convenient for catching prey in the wild. They are able to stalk silently and be unseen until - ROAR... the antelope meets it's maker. :'( a bit sad...

If animals in the wild could get fat, they certainly would.  Very few wild animals are able to find enough food to get fat though.  Bears preparing for the winter pack on as much high fat food as they can, to put on their winter weight to survive the lean periods of the winter.\n\nWild animals that do gain access to excess food, such as squirrels in many park environments, or pigeons in many cities can certainly become 'overweight'.\n\nIt's a natural reaction of any animal to an excess of food.  In order to survive, you put away as much high quality food as you can because you can't be sure when or if you'll ever get any more.

Scientists believe that man may have used fire as long as 1.8 million years ago (Homo Erectus).\n\nI don't mean to be a grammar stickler, but you can't "domesticate" fire, "domesticate" can only be applied to wild animals.

No, definetly not.I worked with rangers and researchers in Aberdares ntional Park in kenya monitoring rhino and i can categorically tell you that rhinos dont stomp on fires

I'd put my money on the hippo. Most people think they're fat, dumb, slow & cowardly, but they're actually one of the most aggressive animals in the wild-and they've got the size & weight to back it up, not to mention massive jaws & teeth.

No animal can travel that fast naturally. Unless they were sitting on a volcano when it went off :)
