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.

That pictures makes me giddy, really. I like hippos and tortoises so much.

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

I'm hoping our very own [livejournal.com profile] ctiee will make a painting out of this or something similar.

O, that would be nice, I think. Hippolove!
