The rhino looks like it is wearing a coat of armour. Rudyard Kipling, in his story ‘How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin’, tells an interesting tale about how a Parsee called Pestonjee Bomonjee baked a magical cake and a rhinoceros ate it on an uninhabited Island on the Red Sea. When that happened, the rhinoceros had a smooth, even and figure-hugging skin.

Water falls on earth in the form of precipitation, such as snow or rain. Rainfall is the main form of precipitation. The amount of rainfall may vary from region to region. It could be 0.1 inch per year in deserts and 900 inches per year in the tropics. If a one inch rainfall occurred in one acre of land, it would weigh 113 tons.
