tortoise does seem amazing.

Hippo and Tortoise (Owen and Mzee) – PowerPoint Presentation

Here we have a series of photographs which tell the story of the
baby hippo (Owen), saved from the 2004 tsunami, and adopted by a male giant
tortoise (Mzee).  Much of life can never be explained but only witnessed. We
hope you enjoy this pictorial story.

It is incredible, a less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a male tortoise.
(In Swahili, Mzee means old man)

 Mzee seems to be very happy being a ‘mother’

Hippos are social animals that like to stay with their mother for as long as
four years

The Tale ofOwen and Mzee

These photographs tell the story of the
baby hippo (Owen), who was saved from the 2004 tsunami.  In order to
survive, he was adopted by a giant
tortoise (Mzee).  These pictures were taken at an animal facility in the port city of Mombasa , Kenya, East Africa.

This is a true story that shows that our differences don’t matter much
when we need the comfort of another. Share Owen and Mzee’s story with a friend.  A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a male tortoise.  After it was swept away and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized.  Mzee seems to be very happy being a ‘mother’.  The hippo is a young baby, he
was left at a very tender age.

‘Life is not measured by the number of breaths
we take, but by the moments that take our breath away’

The Dachshund and Pink the Pig

Here is another inspirational story about animals.  The situation is
a a Dachshund is fostering this pig for another mother who has just died.

Originally his eyes were closed, but now they are open. He is just a
little bigger than her other puppies. Mum appears to love him as much as the
other puppies and she is nursing him back to health. He is also the cleanest
pig-puppy ever because she licks him all the time. Unsurprisingly he is
named, Pink.
