we need little miracles in our lives

A rodent-eating snake and a hamster have developed an unusual bond at a zoo in the Japanese capital, Tokyo.
Their relationship began in October last year, when zookeepers presented the hamster to the snake as a meal.

The rat snake, however, refused to eat the rodent. The two now share a cage, and the hamster sometimes falls asleep sitting on top of his natural foe.



Thanks to Mr Loobz for sharing the url

sometimes nature can teach a few things.

this report shows that it is possible to control one's desire to eat other cute creatures.

many a times i have restrained myself from eating my cats, nephews and nieces.

in that respect, i have been successful.

and you're welcome. hope your mood moved one or two notches up.

LoL at Loobzy's curbed appetite towards his nephews and nieces! wonder who he has actually consumed earlier!

Could the snake be friends with a water chestnut head?

This is unusual, but its existence reminds us that this relationship is possible.

Maybe the snake is saving the hamster for another day?

Haha. Just kidding. :)
