BigPotatoes Bites – What Colour is Hippo Milk?

As random facts go, this is one of our favourites and was always going to be a BigPotatoes Bite at some point. Some may already know the answer but if you don’t you’re in for a treat. So, in this BigPotatoes Bites – What Colour is Hippo Milk?

Now we all naturally assume milk is white. We’ve been drinking cows milk since we were children and we’ve been bombarded with cereals advertising it be served with milk. However, not every species on this planet has white milk. A Hippo’s milk is in fact Pink!!

It does kind of look like strawberry flavoured milk but we aren’t taste testing that. But, this little random fact is a fantastic way to kick off a meeting or use it as an icebreaker at a networking event. It’s sure to turn a few heads.

And, if you still don’t believe me. Check out the video below for proof!

So, on your next work night out or Christmas party when some asks have you any news. You can tell them you do and tell them the colour of Hippo milk.
