red
A hippopotamus’s sweat is actually red. They secrete a liquid containing red pigments from special glands.

By guarding against dryness and shielding from UV damage, it helps hippos spend long periods of time out of the water. It may be a surprising sight to first-time observers, but it’s a natural part of the hippo’s defense mechanism.
