  • this friendship is so inspirational. makes me sad and glad every time i see it.

    :)

  • my teacher is telling us to search for owen and mzee

    '

  • As of March 2007, Mzee has been removed from the enclosure. A female hippopotamus named Cleo has been added to provide companionship for Owen. Owen seems to be adapting to his new companion and it is possible that Owen and Cleo will have offspring when he reaches maturity.

  • I'm assuming these two best buds are in Africa - and I've read that only Somalia suffered significant loss in the tsunami. Where were they stranded to begin with?

  • The angels must have brought Owen and Mzee together. Very beautiful.

  • how are they now?

  • My teacher read the book to me in 2nd grade. I love them they're so cute!

  • I hate everything in Earth. But that just made me cry.

  • I read this story at school<3

    So cute

  • i wish i had a turtle like Mzee, i would love it soo much and I would ride it's back :D
