LONDON (Reuters) - Want to be hip at the beach while being cool and healthy too? Try Hippopotamus sweat.
Not only is the sweat of the hippo a fetching shade of red that gradually turns to brown, it also acts as a sunscreen and has antibiotic properties, according to Japanese scientists writing in Nature science journal.
But before heading off to the zoo for sweat samples, a word of caution.
The scientists at Keio University say there is a downside -- it stinks.

I saw on animal planet that more people die Hippopotamus deaths then any other 4 leged animal on the planet. People don't try to pet a hippo..LOL
