The tortoise and the... hippo?

So, it seems that a young hippopotamus calf in Kenya was swept away from his mother as a result of last month's tsunami. He was pulled into the Indian Ocean and then washed back onto the Kenyan shore where he was found and taken to a local wildlife refuge. Missing his mother, the young hippo has latched onto an aged male Aldabran giant tortoise as a surrogate mother. Apparently, things are going swimmingly. The hippo follows the tortoise everywhere. Kind of cute. Let's hope that the prudes in power over here don't find out about this story. Who knows, given the recent SpongeBob flap, they'll probably try to read something about gender confusion into this and try to ban that "Hungry, Hungry Hippos" game from way back when.
