How a Hippo Keeps Its Cool


So... this kind of grossed me out for a split second because when anything oozes anything it's either white or clear... or at least a color far away from that of blood unless they're diseased or in some horror movi - Anyway! A hippo creates its own "sunscreen". They secrete a layer of red mucous from its pores called "blood sweat". Gross, right? Yeah. It's not blood nor sweat, but it protects the giant from the harmful rays of Mister Sunshine. It prevents sunburns and keeps the hippo nice and moist.
A hippo also walks along the bottoms of lakes or rivers.

I wish I could hold my breath underwater for 5 minutes...

PODOHAMA PODOHAMA

PODOHAMA is still under major, MAJOR construction, but do not fear! It will come along in time. In time, friends, in time. Then why does PODOHAMA already have a blog? you ask? Well... it's simply just a precaution... in case someone else decides to call something "podohama" and create a blog called "podohama". Dumb, I know.
