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

Before the Japanese had arrived years ago the South Africans with this theory later proved. They feature some glands under the skin that secrete this substance antiseptic that together with the work of Oxpeckers contribute to the treatment of lacerations. These pigments act especially at night when the hippos are not in water.
