OWEN & MZEE the true story of a remarkable friendship
T HIS IS THE TRUE STORY of two great friends: a baby hippopotamus named Owen and a 130-year-old giant tortoise named Mzee. The hippo was not always friends with the tortoise. He wasn’t always known as “Owen.” And Owen was not always famous the world over. Here is how it all happened.
