The giant elephant beetle is on Coyote's face! #elephantbeetle #harmlessinsects #insect #bravewilderness | Brave Wilderness

Fun in the mud! 🐘 Our baby elephants visit the mud wallow at least once per day, if not more! Mud functions as both sunscreen and bug spray for African elephants. They don't have sweat glands to keep themselves cool, so a layer of mud or dirt helps regulate body temperature and protects their skin from the sun's harmful rays. In addition, mud helps to prevent insect bites! ☀️🐜 Also... it's just plain fun to roll around in the mud and make a mess! 🤣 | Elephant Havens Wildlife Foundation
