    Rhiniceroses do not sweat. They do not have sudoriferous (sewat) glands.

    Hippopotamuses do not sweat either. They do, however, secrete from their dermis (skin) a glossy, brownish-red secretion that is referred to as 'blood sweat'. This is a poor name for it because it is neither sweat nor blood. It is believed to protect the hippo's sensitive skin from sun. Rather than sweat they are, effectively, secreting their own sunscreen.
