A mouse diced with death when it stole some food from under the nose of a leopard at the Santago Rare Leopard Project in Hertfordshire.
Instead of pouncing on the mouse, the 12-year-old African leopard, called Sheena, simply watched as it fed on scraps of meat thrown into its enclosure.
At one stage she tried to nudge the mouse away with her nose, but the mouse carried on eating regardless.

Baby Bear Diagnosed With Social Anxiety
Bear psychologists have diagnosed a local cub with social anxiety disorder after he exhibited extreme shyness around others.
“Sometimes cubbies can be a little awkward around their peers, but most will grow out of it,” says Dr. Jane Camping. ”But a bear with social anxiety may have setbacks — he won’t be able to eat at the cool kids table, or will be too shy to ask a girl to the Spring Fling dance. So it’s good to diagnose that early on.”

The Pebble Toad from Venezuela is hunted by Toad-eating Tarantulas, but is able to escape by turning itself into a rubber ball. The toad is so tiny and weighs so little that bouncing doesn’t hurt it at all. (Life - BBC)

“BLIND PUG GUIDED BY ANOTHER PUG”
This pair of pugs are firm friends with a very special relationship – one acting as the eyes of the other. Franky acts as a guide dog to his fellow pug Elly (the white-coated pug), helping on walks or to find food and water because she isn’t able to find her own way.
The duo are both four years old and are inseparable, with Elly following Franky everywhere he leads. She sniffs the air to find her friend, the nuzzles into his side to trot along with him.
