He said in a subsequent tweet, “This is called as wallowing. Elephants love to do that. It keeps them cool. Elephants don't have sweat glands but have high volume to surface area ratio and hence heat is generated. So, heat dissipation in this manner or by flapping their ears is very important”.
The video has received over 48,000 views and 3,200 likes on Twitter. Users have left beautiful comments on the video since it has been posted.
