Snapping turtles Susanne Kynast “creatures who are entitled to regard the brontosaur and mastodon as brief zoological fads” (1) “Snapping turtles, embodiment of turtles who shared the earth with the dinosaurs for a time and are now obliged to share it with the human species, might well report that the former companions were far less stressful.” (2) Scientific Name: Chelydra serpentina serpentina Family: Chelydridae Common Names: Common Snapping Turtle, Snapper, local: Mud Turtle Evolution: Snapping turtles, as we know them today evolved already about 40 million years ago (5), and they are the ancestors of about 80% of all the turtles today (3).

Hippopotamus and the Tortoise. “Much of life can never be explained but only witnessed.” - Rachel Naomi Remen, MD NAIROBI (AFP) – A baby hippopotamus that survived the tsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong bond with a giant male century-old tortoise in an animal facility in the port city of Mombassa, officials said. The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about 300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean , then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on December 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him.

“It is incredible. Male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to be very happy with being a ‘mother’,” ecologist Paula Kahumbu, who is in charge of Lafarge Park , told AFP. “After it was swept away and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized. It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother. Fortunately, it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond. They swim, eat and sleep together,” the ecologist added.
