, 1/200 f/3.2, ISO 800, hand held. South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. Specie: Hippopotamus amphibius

Il sudore rosso degli ippopotami. Qualche anno fa è stato svelato da alcuni ricercatori giapponesi il segreto del "sudore rosso" degli ippopotami, identificando le sostanze chimiche responsabili dell'antico mito secondo cui questi animali suderebbero sangue. In realtà, le secrezioni degli ippopotami sono una mistura di due pigmenti instabili - uno rosso, l'altro arancione - che agiscono sia da crema solare sia da antibiotico, contribuendo altresì a mantenere freschi gli animali. #wild #night #safari

Bravo Marco! Information really interesting !!! There are several research projects that are studying these amazing features of hippos to try to develop drugs for 'man ..... After all just go into a pool like that of Retima to understand that if they survive the infection there has to be something truly miraculous .......

Excellent throughout, shooting and document / very detailed description ;-) !!! There really is something miraculous, sometimes you see lacerations and wounds so exposed in the hippos that if they had an incredible antibacterial system certainly could not survive !!!!
