News Item on BBC news 24 today:-
"A baby hippo aged just a year old, rescued from the sea in Kenya after losing its parents, has adopted a giant tortoise as its 'mother'.
The animals share a compound in a sanctuary and have formed a close bond. Peter Greste reports from Kenya."
There is an actual video 'stream' on the BBC website in questin; I tried hard to 'snap' a clip showing the hippo resting his head on the tortoise's neck, the two 'kissing' - literally.
I became emotional watching the clip, at the sheer beauty of the story, and the scene
What can we learn from this?
