Hippopotamus milk is in pink colour

By MindStick

Yes, hippopotamus milk is pink in color.

Because the milk contains two acids: hipposudoric acid is red in color, while norhipposudoric acid is orange.

These acids are released by the skin of the hippopotamus and act as a sunscreen, protecting the animal from harmful UV radiation.

The milk also contains a lot of fat, which helps the calf grow quickly.

However, it can't be consumed by human because it has strong taste and difficult to obtain.
