Heres the answer...they sent to me.
Hello Tuula,

Ironically though, Dr. Chase is there right now, exactly in the area that
he was in and they are conducting an aerial survey of the wildlife in that

The pending introduction serves as an intriguing plot twist to the unlikely story of a hippo and tortoise brought together at Haller Park wildlife sanctuary in Mombasa, Kenya, in the wake of the December 26, 2004, Indian Ocean tsunami.
The conservationists hope the two hippos will bond with no objection from the tortoise, named Mzee. Such an outcome will allow Mzee's return to the safety of his original enclosure.
