That is so adorable and sad at the same time. I wonder what the tortoise must be thinking.

Hippos kill more people each year than alligators do.

But this story is an 8 out of 10 in cuteness.

Life is like a clay pigeon -- sooner or later, someone is going to shoot you down and even if they miss you'll still wind up shattered and broken in the end.

hehehe

Nooo, I meant that fact that he now has a baby hippo tagging along with him. Can't really out run the hippo to get rid of it, so I guess he's kind of stuck with him now.
