Mud bath
Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe

Rolling around in the mud is more than just fun for elephants. Mud baths serve a critical purpose for elephants. Under the harsh African sun, the heat and UV radiation can be deadly and with their few hairs and sweat glands they have to find other ways to cool off. Regardless, it's still huge fun!
