They are extremely partial to water and enter the pools during the night and also visit them during of the day. In suitable places there are regular mud baths or wallows, some large and patronized by elephants, etc., and others much smaller. They evidently enjoy rolling in wet mud as much as buffaloes and hogs do. They visit the pools singly or may be found two together, usually a bull and cow.
