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.
