Wallowing hippos keep cool by submerging themselves in water or mud, which helps regulate their body temperature. Their thick skin is sensitive to sunlight, so by staying in water or mud, they avoid overheating and protect themselves from sunburn. Additionally, hippos secrete a natural sunscreen substance known as "blood sweat," which provides further protection against UV rays while also keeping their skin moist.
