Hippo keeps his new dad

Shell-shocked hippo keeps his new dad:

"The unlikely couple of a baby hippo and a 130-year-old tortoise are still together, a year after the hippo was separated from its family by the Boxing Day tsunami."

I blogged about this last year and am amazed the turtle and hippo are still firm friends a year later. It's an extraordinary tale. Conservation workers plan to introduce Owen the hippo to Cleo, a female hippo, who has lived without hippo friends for more than 10 years. It would be great if it worked out...but then what will the poor turtle do??
