Hippos roll in the mud for many different reasons. One reason is to get cool. The climate where they live is very harsh and arid. Another reason may be to congregate with other hippos sort of like a town square. They may do this for safety.

Rhinos wallow in mud, which acts like sunscreen lotion for them. They also wallow in mud to repel bugs and just to cool off in the heat.

They don't particularly but they may wallow like very many animals. The usual reasons given for mud-bathing are protection from sunburn and to dislodge parasites.
