Mud bathing takes place at the hottest time of the day, either at the lake shore or in small mud pools. The rhinos which have been bathing at the saline lake often go white in colour, while those that bath elsewhere become dark brown or grey; this has led some guests to mistakenly surmise that the Crater contains both Black and White Rhino!
