The case of Owen the hippo and Mzee the tortoise may be better described as mutualism, as both animals seem to benefit from the companionship the other provides. However, if one were to look at it from a commensalism point of view, the young hippo benefits from the companionship and security of his friend while the turtle is not affected as he just wonders around with his hippo shadow.
