A young hippo, Owen, was rescued after the tsunami of December 2004 and brought to an animal sanctuary in Kenya. There he struck up a surprising friendship with a 130-year-old tortoise named Mzee, who had been a loner for years. The two animals have created a unique language of nips, nudges, and noises with which they communicate, and they seem happiest when they're together. But is it healthy-or possible-for them to remain best friends? Full-color photographs. Background information. Winner of the 2008 Christopher Award.
