Owen and Mzee: True Story of a Remarkable Friendsh

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 emailed 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.
