The Old Man and Owen

[erikred]

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.

OHMYGOD. So sweet. That kinda hurts... especially because they are due to be separated...

Ah, but it's the love you have when you have it that counts, right? You can, of course, expect to see Owen in a Discovery Channel special in about 5 years, when the young hipppo starts tracking down tortoises in the wild....
