Why are we so sweaty?
Brains On! Science podcast for kids
Sweat or No Sweat?
Human sweat is pretty special, but we're not the only animal to do it. Time for a little game of sweat or no sweat. I'm going to name an animal, and you tell me if it's sweats or not. First up: fish; they can't sweat because they are always wet. All right, next animal? Horses. Sweat! In fact, horse sweat has a special substance in it called latherin, which is sort of like soap. And sometimes it can make a sweaty horse look a little foamy. So have you ever heard the phrase sweating like a pig? Have you heard people say that? No. It does sound funny.
