From the collection: Owen & Mzee

Owen & Mzee : the language of friendshipIn December 2004, a frightened young hippo, separated from his family by a devastating tsunami, bonded with an Aldabra tortoise named Mzee. The 130 year-old tortoise accepted Owen as his own, and an inseparable bond was forged. Text and color photos tell the true story of the friendship that developed at a Kenyan wildlife sanctuary.
