The enclosure is provided with a shallow bath and in the summer the animals like to lie in this bath. In the Umfolozi Game Reserve White Rhinoceroses are fond of wallowing in pans and they do so mostly at night time. When the animals have finished, they rub themselves against trees or tree-stumps in the neighbourhood. These may be quite smooth from the rubbing over long periods. Low stumps are even used for rubbing the belly.
