Is it true that Hippopotamuses sweat blood and produce pink milk?
No. A Wikipedia reference states hippo skin secretions are neither blood nor sweat, and that reports of hipposudoric acid coloring hippo milk pink are false because hippo milk is white or beige. Two peer-reviewed items note hippos have a pink secretion but no real sweat glands.
