When monsoon floods invade the sanctuary, the muddy wallows so much sought after by rhino for warding of flies are very few and far between. The few that exist are in great demand, and several rhino sometimes have to share a wallow. For example, on 23-7-53 A. Jairamdas, while visiting Kaziranga in company with the Range Officer, saw no less than seven rhino lying in the same mud wallow, which was so small that the animals were all touching each other.
