Wonderful Couple : Baby Hippo and Tortoise ~ novos-net

This couple is inseparable, a baby hippo and a tortoise have found love. They have to be the strangest couple ever, but they eat, sleep, swim and play together. The funny thing is that they are almost the same size, the baby hippo is still little and the tortoise or land turtle tend to get pretty big.

Hippopotamus amphibius, commonly known as a Hippo, with the English colloquial name being derived from the Greek which means "water or river horse". The Hippo's association with the mouths of rivers more than likely led to them being called "sea cows or seekoeie" which has been adopted in Afrikaans and "ingulube yamanzi" in Zulu.

They are both vegetarians so there are no arguing about what food they are eating. They can be found in a Mombasa animal facility, and they attract a lot of people, because it is simply unbelievable. Maybe the baby hippo thinks that the tortoise is its surrogate mother, who knows?

Tortoises are evolved before mammals, birds, crocodiles, snakes and lizards. They are one of the oldest creatures on the earth. Mostly tortoise species can live up to more than hundred years of age.

Either way they have to be the cutest animal couple, and they show how love conquers all, you don’t have to be completely like your partner to make it work.
