The Rhino is a fictional supervillain from the Spider-Man comic book. Physically, he is one of Spider-Man's strongest foes. He is also an imbecile, and thus not too difficult for the wall-crawler to best.The source of the Rhino's powers is his costume, which was once permanently attached. Eventually, the abilities of the costume merged with the body of the wearer. He has been physically improved over the years by many different villains of the Spiderman comicbook. This includes treatment with gamma rays to give him a similar physical constitution to the Hulk.

Rhino is an open source implementation of JavaScript. It is developed entirely in Java and managed by the Mozilla Organization.The Rhino project was started at Netscape in 1997 and released to mozilla.org in 1998. It was made open source thereafter. The project gets its name from the animal on the cover of the JavaScript book [1] from O'Reilly (preview online).
Rhino converts JavaScript scripts into Java classes. Rhino works in both compiled as well as interpreted mode. It is intended to be used in applications, hence there is no support for browser objects that is commonly associated with JavaScript.
Rhino can be used as a debugger by making use of the Rhino shell. It can be used in applications by embedding Rhino.

Rhinoceroses Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Perissodactyla Family: Rhinocerotidae Genera Diceros
Ceratotherium
Rhinoceros
DicerorhinusA rhinoceros is any of five surviving species of odd-toed ungulate in the family Rhinocerotidae. All five are native to Africa or Asia. Several other species became extinct within geologically recent times, notably the Wooly Rhinoceros: the extent to which climate change or human predation was responsible is debated.
Rhinoceros-like animals first appeared in the Eocene as rather slender animals, and by the late Miocene there were many different species. Most were large. One, Indricotherium weighed about 30 tonnes and (so far as is known) was the largest terrestrial mammal that ever lived. Rhinos became extinct during the Pliocene in North America, and during the Pleistocene in northern Asia and Europe.
The five living species fall into three tribes. The critically endangered Sumatran Rhinoceros is the only surving representative of the most primitive group, the Dicerorhinini, which emerged in the Miocene (abut 20 million years ago). There are two living Rhinocerotini species, the endangered Indian Rhinoceros and the critically endangered Javan Rhinoceros, which diverged from one another about 10 million years go. The extinct Wooly Rhinoceros of northern Europe and Asia was also a member of this tribe. The two African species, the White Rhinoceros and the Black Rhinoceros, diverged during the early Pliocene (about 5 million years ago) but the Dicerotini group to which they belong originated in the middle Miocene, about 14 million years ago.
Rhinoceros horns are used in traditional Asian medicine, and for dagger handles in Yemen and Oman. None of the five rhinoceros species have secure futures: the White Rhino is perhaps the least endangered, the Javanese Rhino survives in only tiny numbers (estimated at 60 animals in 2002) and is one of the two or three most endangered large mammals anywhere in the world.
Rhino protection campaigns began in the 1970s, but rhino populations have continued to decline dramatically. Trade in rhinoceros parts is forbidden under the CITES agreements, but poaching is a severe threat to all rhinoceros species.
The most obvious distinguishing characteric of the rhinos is a large horn on the nose. The word rhinoceros comes from the Greek words rhino (nose) and keros (horn). Rhinoceros horns, unlike those of other horned mammals, consist of densely compacted hair.
