On a sweltering 90-degree day, these elephants knew exactly how to stay cool! Elephants are pros at beating the heat—typically bathing for about an hour each day. Using their trunks like built-in hoses, they splash water all over their bodies to cool off.

Unlike humans, elephants don’t sweat, so staying cool is essential. But if they only bathe for an hour, how do they manage the rest of the day? Thanks to capillary forces, water stays trapped in the deep wrinkles of their skin, helping them stay cool long after their dip. Plus, their sparse, long body hair plays a surprising role—helping conduct heat away and holding onto water longer.

Proof that fun in the pool isn’t just for humans—every species deserves a splash!
