Turtle Daddy!

this just makes me happy, for some reason.

I'm just imagining the tortoise. "Man, I was minding my own business, just doing tortoise things, and bam! this thing keeps following me around."

I was disappointed there was no picture. [Frown]

As was I. That's a sweet story.

I'm glad the tortise is long-lived enough he's probably not going to die when the hippo is still a baby or anything.

I've heard that the hippo is the most dangerous animal in africa, other than mosquitoes of course.

*melts*

Okay. I'm not grumpy anymore.

Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :

You can find another by clicking on more pictures until ya reach number 21.
(There are new pictures added on top every once in a while so the number may be higher.)
I could find only the four. YahooFrance and other French sites had a marvelous set of pictures -- and some better articles -- back in January, but I can't locate them.

I saw something similar with a hippo and a baby elephant(?) or something, and it was the cutest thing ever.
