A 650 lb. hippo baby was swept down a river into the Indian Ocean. When the tsunami struck, he was swept back onto shore and landed on a 100 year old tortoise. The tortoise became the hippo's surrogate mother and the pair eat, sleep, and swim together. Here is a link to the story and some really adorable pictures of the pair: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/02/baby_hippo_mother_tortoise.php
