Original text on this topic:
The rhino likes to take mud baths. He has certain 'pangoejangans' which it visits regularly, and where formerly hunters would wait for it to appear. Near such a wallow all bushes and the grass are covered with mud and this mudcover can extend further afield because the mud is rubbed off the animal unto bush and alang alang after the animal leaves the wallow.
