Meet Owen and Mzee, your daily dose of cute
If you’re looking for cute, meet Owen and Mzee.
A coworker of mine forwarded me an email full of pictures of this unlikely pair, along with their story. I’d never heard of this unlikely pair before. They are incredible.
In 2004, a baby hippo was separated from his mother during a tsunami. He was rescued and taken to an animal reserve in Kenya, where he met Mzee, a 130-year-old male tortoise. Mzee sort of adopted Owen, who follows his every move. They’ve been inseparable since. They’re friendship has resulted in children’s books, a documentary movie and lots of press coverage, not to mention their own fancy Web site.
So that’s it – you’re daily dose of cute.
