Why do the elephants at the National Zoo throw hay on their backs every day after their bath?

in the wild, elephants will throw dirt and sand on their skin after a swim as a way to keep off parasites and from getting sunburned. At the zoo, the elephants are probably responding to the same instincts but simply do not have the materials around to complete it properly. Because the hay is nearby, that is all they know to use.
