I got an email awhile ago about this tortoise Mzee and hippo Owen. During the Tsunami in SE Asia a couple years ago a baby hippo Owen was washed ashore Kenya and separated from his heard. He was rescued and put in a wildlife reserve where he became attached to 130 year old Tortoise Mzee. I was watching Oprah today and she was talking about love stories. Her last story was about Owen and Mzee.

I was looking on youtube and found these two videos about them.
