The inspiring true story of two great friends, a baby hippo
named Owen and a 130-yr-old giant tortoise named Mzee
(Mm-ZAY). When Owen was stranded after the Dec 2004 tsunami,
villagers in Kenya worked tirelessly to rescue him. Then, to
everyone's amazement, the orphan hippo and the elderly
tortoise adopted each other. Now they are inseparable,
swimming, eating, and playing together. Adorable photos
e-mailed from friend to friend quickly made them worldwide
celebrities. Here is a joyous reminder that in times of
trouble, friendship is stronger than the differences that
too often pull us apart.
