Pygmy hippopotamus unusual secretion as common hippos, that gives a pinkish tinge to their bodies, and is sometimes described as "blood sweat" though the secretion is neither sweat nor blood. This substance, hipposudoric acid, is believed to have antiseptic and sunscreening properties. The skin of hippos dries out quickly and cracks, which is why both species spend so much time in water. The skeleton of "C. liberiensis" is more gracile than that of the common hippopotamus, meaning their bones are proportionally thinner. The common hippo's spine is parallel with the ground; the pygmy hippo's back slopes forward, a likely adaptation to pass
Jugulator (mammal) displayed these behaviours. "Jugulator" occurs in the mid-Cretaceous deposits of the Cedar Mountain Formation, where several of North America's more iconic dinosaurs like "Utahraptor" and "Cedarosaurus" occur. A large variety of mammal species are known from here as well, including other eutriconodonts like "Astroconodon" and "Corviconodon" as well as multituberculates like "Cedaromys" and "Janumys" and several therian mammals such as "Montanalestes" and "Atokatheridium". These diverse mammal faunas offer a transition from dominant taxa in the Early Cretaceous and the multituberculate and therian dominated laurasian mammalian faunas of the Late Cretaceous. Jugulator (mammal) Jugulator is a genus of extinct mammal from
