Today, my hubby took a hippo in his lunchbag. Did you know that the hippopotamus doesn’t have sweat glands? But they excrete a pink fluid that acts as a natural sun block.
Doodlewash Prompt #Ice. You’d feel a shiver of ice down your spine if you saw this guy popping up next to your boat!

a natural sunblock. that’s interesting. you know so much about animals because of your dad. that’s an incredible legacy to have
Thank you, Alice! I will admit that many of the details I come up with are ones that I googled, but I did know about the sunblock.
Wow! So the pink we often see on hippos is their sunblock secretion – that’s fascinating. Your hippo looks a bit hungry – perfect commentary for riding along in hubby’s lunchbag.
Lol! Yes, I did tell him he’d look like that if he kept adding to his lunch!
