Here is a picture of Owen and Mzee. I love the story of Owen, the baby hippo separated from his family by a tsunami in December 2004, and Mzee, a 130 year-old Aldabra tortoise. They became best friends and are now quite a tourist attraction at Haller Park in Kenya. Turtles and tortoises are amazing for many reasons. They are slow, gentle, vegetarians, and these tortoises live to be very old, averaging about 200 years old--some even older.
