Super cute! Baby Hippo and Giant Tortoise are Bosom Buddies :)
Zoo keeper's blog http://www.lafargeecosystems.com/main/blog.php
"Baby Hippo Owen was swept away when the tsunami struck the Kenyan coast last Christmas, but was rescued by Haller Park Sanctuary in Mombassa.
Traumatised, the hippo latched on to a male giant century-old tortoise called Mzee, and pair bonded like mother (or Father?) and son.
Now, more than a year later zoo staff have given up trying to do anything to separate this odd couple so are introducing a new hippo member to this family, Cleo, to teach Owen hippo stuff."
