Hippo and tortoise
This true story has been going around the Internet for years, but it still makes me smile. More proof that differences don’t have to matter.
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. “The hippo is a young baby, he was left at a very tender age and by nature, hippos are social animals that like to stay with their mothers for four years,” he explained.

Five-pound gummy bear
Do you like gummy bears? Do you really, really, REALLY like gummy bears? How about the equivalent of 1,400 gummy bears?
Enter the 9.5 inch, 5-pound World’s Largest Gummy Bear, in your choice of blue raspberry, green apple (my favorite!), or red cherry. C’mon, it’s only 12,600 calories, and according to the website,
Its monstrous size is only matched by its enormous taste. The World’s Largest Gummy Bear tastes just as delicious as its pint-sized counterpart.
Seriously. It’s the greatest flippin’ gift ever.
Can’t handle that much gummy bear? Try the Giant Gummy Bear on a Stick (only 1/2 pound).
