I have seen them doing what appeared to be licking the dew off plants in the morning. I would think as others have stated they get a lot of moisture from the vegetation they eat.

I wonder if they lick snow. I read somewhere (Rue?) that they don't because it burns up too many calories warming it up in their bodies in the cold winter months.
