    Actually, it's not sweat. It'a secretion that acts as a sunscreen. After visiting Lucifer the Hippo at Homosassa State Park in Florida, I became fascinated by hippos and have learned a lot.

    No , I didn't know that. I guess I have never seen a sweaty hippo.

    I did that on purpose Randy D, to attract you to my question. Did you put that image up because you were scared youd make another mistake?

    2,900 people are killed by these moody mammals annually in Africa. That roly-poly exterior is just to lure you in.
