Baby Hippo Finds Mother

This post has nothing to do with Cruise West- but we just loved the story and couldn't resist sharing.  It made us smile and hope that you enjoy it also.

My father-in-law is one of those guys who seems to be on everyone's email list. He always forwards the jokes about the old folks' homes, the kid-who-says-exactly-the-wrong-thing stories, and the send-this-to-twelve-people-or-else emails.

Today's email was better than average: the hippo who adopts a turtle as his "mother". So adorable - in the wake of post-tsunami disaster, a 1 year-old hippo adopts a turtle... the pictures are just heartwarming.

So I followed up on this one - turns out there's a LOT of attention on these two - a movie, a book, and a blog where you can learn a lot more and catch up on these two and many more fascinating creatures.   NPR is even following their story.


Don't miss the stick balancing game they play together.
