One Hungry Little Mouse!

 The  extraordinary scene was captured by photography  student
 Casey  Gutteridge at the Santago Rare Leopard Project  in Hertfordshire.
The  19-year-old, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire,  who was
   Photographing  the leopard for a course project, was  astounded
   By the  mouse's Behavior.

He  said: 'I have no idea where the mouse came from  - he
   Just  appeared in the enclosure after the keeper  had
   Dropped in  the meat for the leopard.
   He didn't  take any notice of the leopard, just went  straight
   over to  the meat and started feeding  himself.

'But the  leopard was pretty surprised - she bent down  and
   Sniffed  the mouse and flinched a bit like she was  scared.

'In the  meantime the mouse just carried on eating like  nothing
   Had  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  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.
