In order to regulate internal body temperature, the sweat mechanism allows an animal to quickly dissapate heat. Animals like a horse, cow or human will sweat with exercise or in hot temperatures. Reptiles & insects don't sweat as their body temperature is governed by the environmental temperature. Pigs on the other hand, are mammals and need to have water/humidity applied to the skin in order to help dissapate heat. This is the reason pigs are associated with wallowing in the mud.

In other words, you are an animal and you should be able to sweat so, yes.

Yes, some animals sweat to regulate their body temperature. For example, horses, pigs, and primates have sweat glands that allow them to sweat. However, not all animals sweat in the same way that humans do to cool down.
