A mouse has
been given its freedom after it tackled a poisonous snake in a bid to save a
fellow rodent at a zoo in China
The two mice
were served up as a live dinner for the snake at Hangzhou Zoo in Zhejiang province, eastern China
Keeper Wen
Shao said: "We always give the snakes live food and we put the two mice
into the snake enclosure, but instead of trying to hide like they usually do
one of the mice attacked the snake when it saw it trying to eat the other mouse.
"I have
never seen anything like that before, usually the mice keep as far away from
the snake as possible but this one caused a lot of damage.
"It was
biting the snake on the head as the snake was trying to eat the first
mouse."
He added that
the mouse had deserved its freedom after putting up such a brave fight.
"In any
case it didn't do the snake any good either, it was expensive and the mouse did
a lot of damage by biting it on the head," he added.
Sadly the
mouse did not succeed in its bid to free its pal. It died and was later eaten
even if mighty mouse was no longer around to witness it.
