Original text on this topic:
They enter streams by night and also during the hot hours of the day. In suitable spots there are regular wallows or mud-baths in which the huge creatures roll much as buffaloes and pigs do. As a result of this habit their bodies are always well coated with mud. They visit the wallows singly, or a bull and a cow may be found together.
