TRUNK AND DISORDERLY? BIZARRE MOMENT ELEPHANT FACEPALMS VERGE BUT SHE'S ACTUALLY USING MORNING DEW FOR A FACIAL Pic from Arpit Kooba/Magnus News. Pic shows a 25-year-old female elephant in performing a bizarre ritual of headbutting the grass verge to mix morning dew with mud to sooth her skin from insect bites and infection. Arpit Kooba, from New Delhi, was in the Jim Corbett National Park, in Uttrakhand State, in January this year when he recorded the interesting behaviour. He said: ??sThis female elephant was coming head on towards us normally and all of a sudden she went down, and we all were like ???what just happened???? ??sThe guides explained elephants use the morning dew to treat themselves for fly bites and parasite infection which are itchy for them. ??sThey mix the dew and the soil and apply it for relief. ??sIt???s an elephant way to treat themselves to a facial because the forehead and trunk are very sensitive, and they don???t want to rub it on anything solid.??? //MAGNUSNEWSAGENCY_1755.4788/2103021542
