N2  - The story of "Owen and Mzee" is based on a real-life friendship between an orphaned baby hippo named Owen and a 130-year-old giant tortoise named Mzee. After being separated from his herd by a tsunami in 2004, Owen was taken to a sanctuary in Kenya, where he bonded with Mzee, who adopted him as his own mother. Their unlikely bond made them world famous, inspiring books, a musical, and messages of hope about the power of friendship
