: One Hungry Little Mouse!
The 19-year-old, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, who wasPhotographing the leopard for a course project, was astoundedBy the mouse's Behaviour.
He said: 'I have no idea where the mouse came from - heJust appeared in the enclosure after the keeper hadDropped in the meat for the leopard.
'He didn't take any notice of the leopard, just went straightOver to the meat and started feeding himself.
'But the leopard was pretty surprised - she bent down andSniffed the mouse and flinched a bit like she was scared.
'In the meantime the mouse just carried on eating like nothingHad happened...but even a gentle shove does not deter the little creature from
Getting his fill...
'It was amazing, even the keeper who had thrown the meat
Into the enclosure was shocked - he said he'd never seen
Anything like it before.'
Project owner Jackie James added: 'It was so funny to see
- Sheena batted the mouse a couple of times to try to get
It away from her food.
'But the determined little thing took no notice and just carried
On.' Sheena was brought in to the Santago Rare Leopard
Project from a UK zoo when she was just four months old.
She is one of 14 big cats in the private collection started by
Jackie 's late husband Peter in 1989.
The African Leopard can be found in the continent's forests,
Grasslands, savannas, and rainforests.
...so the mouse continued to eat the leopard's lunch and show the leopard who was the boss.Just proves no one can push you around without your permission.THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LESSON IN LIFE AND LONGEVITY.Be nice to others because . .. Time WILL make a difference!One day you will no longer be the big dog... Just the old dog...And my friend, WE are now the old dogs.HOWEVER, OLD DOG IS BETTER THAN DOG-GONE.
