Why Elephant’s Mud Bath Means More Than Just Play - ElephantNews #Video

Luxurious red dirt mud baths are not only fashionable but also help elephants insulate themselves from the heat and protect their skin from insect bites and the sun. Nong Pang spends extra time making sure she’s got mud splatters in all the right places. She then finishes her beauty treatment by rubbing against a tree to ensure everything is in the right place, soothing any hard-to-reach tickles and removing excess mud.

Providing an elephant with food, water, freedom to roam, and a mudbath should not be a luxury but a sign of respect every elephant deserves.
