Wallows used by buffalo and rhinoceros may consist simply of an area of churned up, damp mud, insufficiently deep to act as a pool. Both these species apply mud to themselves by rolling and wallowing, and have no effective means of scooping it up unto themselves. Rhinoceros will horn the soil at the side of the wallow. Rhino does not use wallows made by buffalo or elephant.
