Owen the hippo and Mzee the turtle: In Kenya, a little baby hippo was saved after being isolated from his family during a severe tsunami. The 650-pound cub was given the name Owen and was placed in an aviary with a 130-year-old turtle named Mzee. At first, Mzee didn't like its new neighbor, but later Mzee turned into Owen's mentor for 2 years. The story of this couple is so famous that several books and a website have been dedicated to it.
