NAIROBI (AFP) – A baby hippopotamus that survived the tsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong bond with a giant male century-old tortoise, in an animal facility in the port city of Mombassa.
The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about 300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on December 26, 2004 before wildlife rangers rescued him.
“It is incredible. A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to be very happy with being a ‘mother’,” ecologist Paula Kahumbu, who is in charge of Lafarge Park, told AFP.
“After it was swept and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized. It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother. Fortunately, it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond. They swim, eat and sleep together,” the ecologist added. “The hippo follows the tortoise exactly the way it follows its mother. If somebody approaches the tortoise, the hippo becomes aggressive, as if protecting its biological mother,” Kahumbu added.
“The hippo is a young baby, he was left at a very tender age and by nature, hippos are social animals that like to stay with their mothers for four years,” he explained.
This is a real story that shows that our differences don’t matter much when we need the comfort of another. We could all learn a lesson from these two creatures of God. Look beyond the differences and find a way to walk the path together.

Be very careful when playing near waterfalls. You just won’t know whether it’s raining upstream and by the time the water reaches the waterfall, it’ll be too late for you to run for safety.
We do have a no. of these falls in Malaysia and similar tragedies striked so many times despite all the warnings.
Pictures tell a thousand words.
Over the past year I have forwarded some inappropriate pictures and jokes
to friends who I thought shared the same sense of humor.
Unfortunately this wasn’t the case and I seem to have upset a few people who have accused me of being sexist and shallow.
If you were one of these people, please accept my sincerest apologies.
From now on I will only send e-mails with a cultural or educational content
such as old monuments, nature and other interesting topics.
Below is a picture of the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris. It is the oldest bridge
in Paris and took 26 years to build. It was completed in 1604……..
