The Old Man and Owen
A baby hippo rescued after floods in Kenya last week has befriended a 100-year-old tortoise in Kenya.

Owen, the one-year-old hippo, and Mzee (Swahili for "old man"), the 100-year-old tortoise. Too cool.

Not that I'm ignoring the horrible results of the floods. I just like hippos and tortoises and made families.

'In 2002, a lioness at Samburu National Park adopted a succession of baby oryx.'
"Adopting", or "farming", you decide. :-)

Clever creatures, those lions.
