Hippo sweat
2004/06/02 Elhuyar Zientzia
Scientists have extracted two pigments from the sweat of the hippo.
The truth is that it is not sweat, the hippopotamus does not synthesize it in the form of sweat. However, this viscous liquid helps regulate body temperature. The liquid has no color at first, but then it becomes red and then brown because the components of the liquid are polymerized. Scientists have extracted two pigments of hippo sweat, one red and one orange. These pigments protect the animal from the sun and also have an antibiotic effect.
