Original text on this topic:
Some appear to have a distaste for jungle fire, which they charge and trample. It is believed that there are fire-eating, or fire-attacking rhinoceros. Bad omens are associated with their killing; female rhinoceros are fond of tossing large branches or small logs which come in their way and sometimes this injures the young calf at heel, which accounts for the slow rate of increase.
