Another day, another mud bath! 🐘🛁💦 Kadiki and the herd know something we don’t… Did you know? When they slather themselves in mud, it doesn’t just cool them down. The dried mud acts like a natural armour - helping to seal tiny cuts and scrapes, and even making it harder for ticks to bite through their skin. Some scientists think elephants even “mix” different soils for different benefits… almost like choosing between spa treatments! @ifaw #WildisLife_ZEN #CultureOfCare #onebyone | Wild is Lif

Njeri the warthog recommends a good mud wallow to beat the heat. Since warthogs don’t have sweat glands, they rely on mud to cool down. It also shields their skin from the sun and keeps pesky insects away—a spa day with extra benefits! 📸: Animal Caregiver Ellie #safariwest #santarosa #sonomacounty #visitsonoma #sonomaserengeti #warthogs #pigs | Safari West
