Rain-making was one of the San shamans’ most important tasks. The southern San thought of the rain as an animal. This animal was an amorphous quadruped that generally resembled a hippopotamus, but it could also look like an ox or an antelope. A male rain-animal, or rain-bull, was associated with the frightening thunderstorm that bellowed, stirred up the dust, and sometimes killed people with its lightning. The female rain animal was associated with soft, soaking rains. Straay Kloof I

Rhinos and hippos are more common as engravings than paintings. Both the black and white rhinos are represented.
Some are so carefully engraved so that the characteristic folds of their skin are depicted. Straay Kloof I
