Sometimes love knows no species-al bounds...
which is okay if you're not human.
No, it's not that kind of love. This itty bitty baby hippo was orphaned in a tsunami off the Kenyan coast and bonded in the aftermath with this century-old male tortoise who reportedly is "happy being a mother" to the little guy.
I just hope they follow the relationship and as it grows, he doesn't get all hippo (those things are nasty) on his ass and chomp his surrogate - for that would be sad. Meanwhile, this is so cute it's hard to look at.
The cherry on top? - the email signature from which this was sent read:
"Save the Earth; it's the only planet with chocolate."
You had me at hippo. You had me at hippo.

Aw! That is cute.
But I'm guessing they need some Lubriderm up in that piece, STAT!
I'll do it. Me! Me! Me!
A baby hippo spa. Oh. God. Yes.
Just try giving that thing a hot-stone massage. I don't think it would take kindly.
Or "cupping," like those A-listers like. Gwyneth Paltrow and that hippo are like this.
I think the best bet would be that massage god at the Swedish Institute who touches three pressure points and people walk into walls.
(So sayeth Balls.)
Time to make an appointment!
Hey! I went to an information session there when I thought I wanted to be a massage therapist! Then I realized I'd have to touch people for a living.
