Hippos
Create Their Own Antibiotic Sunscreen, "Sweat"
May 26,
2004 -- New research shows that the hippopotamus - famous for its
luxurious mud-pack skin treatments in the hot sun - produces a sunscreen
every time it sweats. Wipe a hippo's face, and you get something
akin to sweat, reports researcher Yoko Saikawa, a scientist with Keio
University in Japan. Sure, it's not produced by sweat glands like
human sweat. Nevertheless, it serves the same purpose. Like
sweat, it helps control a hippo's body temperature, explains Saikawa.
When
the stuff is fresh, it is colorless like sweat. But in hippos, the mucus
gradually turns red, then brown. In their study, Saikawa and his fellow
researchers wiped a hippo's face and back -- then tested the red mucus in
their laboratory. As they filtered the mucus, red and orange pigmented
solutions emerged. "We named the red pigment 'hipposudoric acid' and
the orange 'norhipposudoric acid,'" Saikawa writes. The study appears
in this week's issue of Nature.
The
pigments are in the ultraviolet range, indicating that they "may act
as sunscreens," he explains. The red pigment also acts as an
antibiotic, protecting the hippo's skin from infections, he explains.
There's just one problem. Once they're off the hippo, these pigments
become unstable and turn into solid, brown gunk within a few hours. What
factor in the hippo's mucus keeps the stuff from changing form? That's yet
to be discovered, says Saikawa.
Hippo
sweat poses no immediate threat to the sunscreen industry -- at least not
until the secret hippo ingredient is found. |

KOALAS
endure HEAT & WATER CRISIS (2009)
AT 120 DEGREES IN AUSTRALIA , IT WAS SO HOT
FOR A WEEK THAT KOALAS WERE ASKING PEOPLE FOR WATER. IT'S NEVER BEEN
SEEN BEFORE.
ONE WENT TO A HOUSE TO TRY TO HIDE FROM THE
HEAT AND TO GET A BIT OF SHADE AND HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED WHEN
THE OWNER GAVE HIM SOMETHING TO DRINK.
(Email dated 11/17/09 from customers in
Australia)
Hi Heidi and Glenn -
Here's something to cheer you up for your coming winter. The date on
the photos is January 2009, at the height of last summer's stinking heat
wave. Yesterday was the first day of cooler temps for nearly 2 weeks - ugh
- and now another 2 days of 105 F. Local news last week carried an item
about a wild koala (remember, they're NOT bears) that scratched at a front
door in the Adelaide suburbs and simply marched into the kitchen for a
drink. It hasn't left the front porch and its water bowl since....amazing,
in 40 years I've never heard of this before. You don't want to try to pick
up a wild koala if you value your hide - those claws are sharp for tree
climbing and they're strong little devils.
Your website is amazing - you never sit still! Is there anywhere you
haven't been? We have a dream to do the Inside Passage trip one day,
especially since we're in the middle of this stupid heat wave - and no
rain for 3 weeks. We're in the driest state on the driest continent -
humidity today is 5% - as soon as you finish hanging out a normal laundry
load, the first bits are dry. Everybody lives around the edges, but the
Outback has it's own beauty. Stunning colors. Hope you get a chance to
visit - let us know.
Cheers

According
to the above information on the koalas, the photographs are authentic and
depict a real event. According to a February 5 article published in The
Age, the baby koala, dubbed "Star" because of her rising
Internet fame, wandered into a family home during a heatwave in the
Australian state of Victoria. The article notes:
A family in Maude, near Geelong,
photographed the young female koala taking a dip after finding her on
their verandah, shaking and distressed.
Images of the dehydrated koala bathing in a bucket of water have
circulated around Australia, New Zealand and Britain.
Tracey Young's 10-year-old nephew, Tom Durren, and his sister, Kate, 6,
discovered the koala on Friday when temperatures reached the high 40s
(C.).
Mrs. Young said that the koala climbed into the
bucket of its own accord and stayed there for about twenty minutes. A
wildlife carer who later took the koala to her property for ongoing care
explained that the baby may have been abandoned by its mother because of
the heatwave. She added that it is not unusual for koalas to "take a
dip" during hot weather.
Victoria certainly did experience a very severe heatwave during January
and February 2009 that resulted in power outages and transport delays.
Tragically, the severe heat in Victoria, along with other adverse
conditions, contributed to the Victoria Bushfire Disaster. Many people
were killed and whole townships destroyed as the fires raged through rural
communities in Victoria.
Wildlife was also severely affected by the fires with massive destruction
of natural habitat and the death or injury of millions of animals. Another
koala, dubbed "Sam" has also become quite famous after footage
of her being give water out of bottle by a fire fighter was aired on TV
news. Sam has rapidly become a symbol for hope amid the chaos caused by
the disaster. |
