They're skin turns pink when they're in the sun and get really hot and it acts as a sunscreen. The pink skin also acts as an antibiotic so that when they return to the feces filled water covered in cuts after fighting, they don't get infections.

A hippo is a mammal and very similar to humans, so it 'defecates' through its anus just like us

Hippos breathe air on land or with their nostrils above water.

According to Wikipedia, adults can hold their breath under water 5 to 7 minutes.
