How thick is a Rhino's skin?

I had just finished reading aloud a chapter from The Princess and the Goblin when my son S asked, "Mom, do rhinoceroses have thick skin?" What a mental leap! "Yes," I answered, wondering where this was going, not to mention where it came from. "If you shot two flaming poisonous arrows into it, would it die?" was his next query. Hmmm. Any rhino experts out there?

Well, if the poison doesn't kill it, the fire probably will (or vice versa). What a terrific, if not gruesome, imagination!
