A local man looking after elephants, bathes them in the river.

Elephants can’t sweat. To keep their skin cool and elastic they love to take a mud bath. Additionally, the dried mud protects them from insect bites and sunburn.

If elephants can’t take a mud bath they’ll bath in water and afterwards they’ll cover themselves with dust, this acts like dried mud.
