"Hm, I feel like I don't relate to anyone..."

OWEN!!!!!!!! YOU DID IT, OWEN!









NAIROBI (AFP)- A baby hippopotamus that survived the tsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong bond with a giant male century-old tortoise in an animal facility in the port city of Mombassa, officials said the hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about 300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean , then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on December 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him.

'It is incredible. A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to be very happy with being a 'mother',' ecologist Paula Kahumbu, who is in charge of Lafarge Park , told AFP.

'After it was swept away and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized. It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother. Fortunately , it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond. They swim, eat and sleep together,' the ecologist added. 'The hippo follows the tortoise exactly the way it followed its mother. If somebody approaches the tortoise, the hippo becomes aggressive, as if protecting its biological mother Kahumbu added.

Bye bye



"LOOK!"
"Would you beLIEVE it?!"
"Bang, here ya go-"
"He won't get up from that"
"OH NO! That's what we were worried about!"
"He was out before he hit the floor"

I imagine the boxer's dialogue with friends and fam while watching it:
"No I wasn't out before I hit the floor."
"I remember the hit."
"I remember seeing the floor sooo...how could I have been out already?"
"I mean there's nothing wrong if I was I'm just saying it's not possible."
