A young Hippopotamus forged an Unexpected bond with a Century-Old Turtle!

Love how different species can get along with each other. Amazing animals❤️

This is so precious and such a beautiful love between different species. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if humans could be like this. Lovable GOD given animals ♥️ they deserve to be love by humans 😊☺️

After being swept away by a [ts.una.mi], Owen, a young hippopotamus, was [se.par.ated] from his mother. In his search for companionship, he forged an unexpected bond with a century-old turtle, whom he apparently mistook for another hippopotamus.

In 2004, after the [de.va.stating] Indian Ocean [ts.una.mi], Owen was found alone on the Kenyan coast. Rescuers took him to Haller Park, a wildlife refuge, where he met Mzee, a 130-year-old Aldabra tortoise.

How wonderful is that & very special🤗💕

Feeling helpless, Owen began following Mzee the turtle everywhere. Owen likely mistook her for a member of his own species, seeking protection and comfort.
Over time, this unique friendship defied species boundaries and grew into an [unbre.akable] bond. 🐢🦛

Amazed by the power of empathy in our fellow species who occupy this planet.
What amazing things animals do with each other. So glad that little hippo bonded with that tortoise and vice versa.

May they continue to be happy together!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
We need to learn from them. They are far wiser than humans❤️
