    This guy obviously didn't get out of the sun soon enough. He's got a heavy red tinge to his skin. I wonder what spf he would use? Actually, hippos spend most of their day in the water to protect them from the sun. They secrete an oily red substance that acts as a moisturizer and sunblock and also protects them from germs. Who knew?!
