It reminds me of one of our favorite books <a href="http://www.owenandmzee.com" rel="nofollow"> <em>Owen & Mzee - The True Story of a Remarkable Friendship</em></a>. This is the story of Owen the baby hippo who was separated from his family by a devastating tsunami and how he became friends with a 130 year old giant tortoise name Mzee. Your post script to the story makes me question Mankind. Horrific! Sally -

The hide was recovered, and was used for the model in the picture which is at the Amathole Museum in King Williams town. I'll find out more about the book and its availability and post a comment here when I do.
