Rangers discovered a one-year-old hippo, whom they have named Owen, alone and dehydrated near Kenya's Indian Ocean coast after he became separated from his herd in 2004.
They took him to a wildlife sanctuary in Mombasa, where he soon found a male tortoise with the same dark grey coloring as adult hippos.
The tortoise initially hissed at Owen, warning him to stay away, but according to park officials the pair have since become inseparable.
The Aldabran tortoise, called Mzee, or "Old Man" in Swahili, now eats and sleeps beside Owen. Rangers say they could not have placed Owen with another herd of hippos as he would have been killed by an adult male.
The park's tourism manager, Pauline Kimoto, told reporters: "Since Owen arrived on 27 December, the tortoise behaves like a mother to him. The hippo follows the tortoise around and licks his face."

Young Irish teacher Enoch Burke has now spent over 600 days in prison for refusing to use gender bending ideology for pupils in his class.
His mother and sister visited him in jail today, as they left, gardaรญ were waiting for them, and jailed them too!
Honestly, it looks like the taser caused him to arch back and pull the trigger. His finger shouldnโt have even been on the trigger but I donโt think he meant to pull it in that moment.
