A hippo's skin is covered in thick, nearly hairless skin that can appear grayish or brownish in color. This skin secretes a natural sunscreen-like substance known as "blood sweat," which helps protect it from sunburn and keeps it moist. Despite its thickness, a hippo's skin is sensitive and prone to cracking if not kept hydrated.
