Hippos sweat pink goo because of how their bodies work. Also their skin.
The stuff they sweat out act a little as a natural sun screen, which helps protect their skin when they aren't submerged.

Hippos are extremely huge animals. They are one of the largest land animals. It is the third largest mammal on earth by size and weight. The average weight for Adult Males is between 1500 and 1800 kilograms which works out to 3300 to 4000 pounds in weight. Females are much lower in weight and weigh between 1300 to 1500 kilograms which works out to around 3000 pounds. Adult Males weighing around 3000 to 4000 kilograms have also been seen and recorded. Male hippos grow throughout their lives and that is why they can grow to such huge weights.
Nile crocodiles, lions and spotted hyenas will attack baby hippos.
