Somehow, one never grows tired of looking at those ridiculously cute photos of Owen, a baby hippo orphaned by the December 2004 tsunami, and Mzee, a 130-year-old, none-too-friendly, giant tortoise who adopts him. Here, readers will find out the true story of the unlikely family who have become international superstars. Don't worry, there are lots of photos.
