Awwwwwww...!!!
How can you not love this nontraditional family?
The story of Owen, the orphaned hippo, and Mzee, the 120-year-old male tortoise who became his surrogate "mom," has been e-mailed all over the world.
And according to Snopes, it is not an urban legend. Now, there are plans to make a movie based on Owen and Mzee's story.
It's probably a hippo searching for a mother figure and a tortoise willing to let the hippo follow along, but it's just too sweet!
