When that baby hippo becomes a bull, he will have a tendency to get pretty violent.
The attempt to transfer his affections to a female hippo are probably well-advised.

Listen bub: Owen is a toritsexual and there's nothing he can do about it. It's not like he chose to be born that way. I'm sick and tired of you facist puritans trying to think you can play God and fix nature whenever it doesn't suit your own morality.

Actaully, it sounds to me like Mzee is the victim of unwanted sexual advances.

As the bond grew, the tortoise even returned signs of affection. Reptiles are incapable of such emotions.

At least according to Ditto, who's presumably reporting from inside the mind of a tortoise . . .
To: wideawake
Tortoises have pretty tough shells and "doors" that close firmly. I think he'll be okay when his hippo friend hits puberty :-)
To: presidio9; wideawake
Plus they are in a loving and committed relationship . . . with shared living space and full medical and dental benefits. Adoption will no doubt follow -- or a federal civil rights lawsuit for the right to do so. An appearance on Oprah is in order.

Why is the word affection interpreted by so many on here as a euphemism for sex? Especially when the articles points out that the Hippo adopted the tortoise as a "surrogate parent".
