How many Olympic swimming pools filled with jello is that?

Damnit! Now you made me curious...

Alright! Here goes:

An Olympic pool is 50x25m and a minimum of 2m deep, 3m are recommended for multi-discipline pools. That's a minimum of 2.500m³ or 2.500.000L for the smallest pool and 3.750.000L for the recommended one.

According to WolframAlpha Jell-O has a density of 1.141g/L. That's 2.852,5T of Jell-O for the 2m pool and 4.278,75T for the 3m one.

According to Wikipedia; a rhino weighs anywhere from 21 to 96 tonnes depending on species and gender.

Assuming the 2m deep pool: That's between 0,0072 and 0,0337 Olympic pools of Jell-O. For the 3m one it's between 0,0049 and 0,0224 pools.
