The correct answer to this question is yes. The animal that produces pink milk is the hippo. The cause of the color of milk that comes from the hippo is the secretions that come from the hippo's skin. The secretions from the skin of the hippo are norhipposudoric acid and hipposudoric acid.

When the hippo's skin secretes, he makes the hippo sweat the color red. When that sweat is mixed with the white color of the hippo's milk, it turns the milk pink color. At this time, the hippo is the only animal in the world that has the ability to produce pink milk.

Milk comes from cows and actually several other animals as well. However, the milk that people buy from the grocery store comes from cows most likely, but there is also goat’s milk. Many mammals produce milk. The milk is usually white, but there are animals that produce pink milk. This may look strange because people may be scared to drink pink milk.

People may think about how the milk may turn pink based on the two colors that make pink. That is, red and white make pink. People may think that the red part is blood. People might be disgusted with drinking milk that has a little bit of blood in it. However, hippos are known to make pink milk.

If you are searching for the one and only animal that produces pink milk, then you do not have to look any further. The Hippo is the animal that you are searching for. The reasons for the pink milk is the hippo’s skin secretions. These skin secretions are hipposudoric acid and norhipposudoric acid.

These two secretions can make the sweat of a hippo red so when mixed with something as white a milk, it can make the milk appear pinkish in color. In the past, people thought that the Yak also produced pink milk but according to studies, it is only the hippo that can produce pink milk at present time.
