Answer:

Explanation:

Hippos secrete a reddish oily fluid sometimes called "blood sweat" from special glands in their skin. ... Their skin is very sensitive to both drying and sunburn, so the secretion acts like an automatic skin ointment. It also protects the skin from becoming waterlogged when a hippo is in the water.
