'Cause hippos sweat both as a sunscreen and an antiseptic. Being that hippos are semiaquatic too, there might be an overlooked convergence. And I do sense that people sweat more when exposed to direct sunlight than out of it performing the same ammount of exercise.

Cause we aren't hippos. Cause hippos are obligate quadrupeds. Cause our
sweat does not have sunscreening properties. Cause sweat in humans is for
cooling off in low humidity. Cause hippos have shortened limbs and humans
don't.
