I like to devour an entire pomelo in one sitting, excavating the bitter pink sections from their rhinoceros hide.

Anyway, it's a good thing we used candy glass, because, without saying much more, my super power isn't rhinoceros hide.

Drawing of rhinoceros hide and buffalo hide armour (犀甲) Rhinoceros hide armor (犀甲) is specifically mentioned in "Hymn to the Fallen". Rhinoceroses in ancient China were relatively common at the time of the composition of "Hymn to the Fallen", and Chu is noted for historical use of rhino skin armor for war. "[t]he soldiers of Chu were equipped with armour made of sharkskin and rhinoceros hide as hard as metal or stone, and with pikes of Nanyang steel that could sting a man like a wasp or a scorpion".Hawkes 1985, 122 The lamellar armour favoured by Chu was generally constructed of many small pieces intricately sewn together, resulting in a type of armor providing a certain amount of defensive protection, while at the same time being reasonably light and flexible.

The sjambok () or litupa is a heavy leather whip. It is traditionally made from an adult hippopotamus or rhinoceros hide, but is also commonly made out of plastic. A strip of the animal's hide is cut and carved into a strip long, tapering from about thick at the handle to about at the tip. This strip is then rolled until reaching a tapered-cylindrical form.

In the prehistoric times, the weapons are used as to increase the efficacy and efficiency of activities such as hunting, self-defense, and warfare. The ancient weapons were evolutionary improvements in materials and crafting techniques of late neolithic implements. From the old swords and rhinoceros hide shields it would appear that they were at some erstwhile time a martial race and indulged in warfare. Such weapons are still preserved in Museum. 1\.

A junior Jin General by the name of Ma Long volunteered to help defeat Shujineng. During Ma Long's battles with Shujineng, he used tactics that were rather unorthodox for his time. Ma Long implemented what were called 'flat box carts (偏箱車)' which helped protect the troops from the Xianbei arrows as they advanced. It is also said that he placed magnetic stones on the ground to slow down the Xianbei troops, who generally wore iron armor as opposed to the Jin troops wearing rhinoceros hide armor.

As The Jaguar, he possesses, in addition to the expected feline abilities, all the powers of the animal kingdom, only a thousand times more powerful. The oft-quoted "magnified toughness of a rhinoceros' hide", for example, gives him near Superman-level invulnerability. He also has the Aquaman-style telepathic ability to mentally communicate with and command all animals, including those from alien worlds. The Jaguar wears a simple, skintight scarlet bodysuit with a flared black collar and the stylized suggestion of a feline face (just the eyes, whiskers, and open mouth) on the chest and jaguar pelt-patterned boots and nucleon belt.

Chinese armour was predominantly lamellar from the Warring States period (481 BC - 221 BC) onward, prior to which animal parts such as rhinoceros hide, rawhide, and turtle shells were used for protection. Lamellar armour was supplemented by scale armour since the Warring States period or earlier. Partial plate armour was popular from the Northern and Southern dynasties (420–589), and mail and mountain pattern armour from the Tang dynasty (618–907). Chain mail had been known since the Han Dynasty, but did not see widespread production or battlefield use, and may have seen as "exotic foreign armor" used as a display of wealth for wealthier officers and soldiers.

There was also often factional violence within the states, often related. The Confucian philosopher Xun Zi (Shun Kuang) comments on this in his early Third Century BCE book known eponymously as the Xunzi or Works of Xun Zi: > The soldiers of Chu were equipped with armour made of sharkskin and > rhinoceros hide hard as metal or stone, and pikes of Nanyang steel that > could sting a man like a wasp or scorpion. They were so light and mobile > that they seemed to move about like the wind. Yet at Chui-sha the Chu army > was all but destroyed and its commander Tang Mie [...] was killed.

Giants in the Harry Potter universe are capable of interbreeding with humans – Rubeus Hagrid is half- giant, as is his love interest Olympe Maxime – but wizards as a population have engaged in an active campaign to hunt giants out of civilisation. The last giants in Britain were killed apparently by Ministry decree, but most deaths have been due to territorial aggression among themselves, as wizards force them to live in ever more confined spaces. The last few giants remaining in the world (the total number is between 70 and 80) are collected together in an isolated region east of Belarus. Giants range in height from twenty to twenty-five feet (6 to 7.5 metres), and have skin similar to rhinoceros hide, which grants them limited immunity to magical attacks.
