A viper is swallowing a white mouse it killed at Hangzhou Zoo in Hangzhou city, east Chinas Zhejiang province, 5 March 2013. Staff member of Hangzhou Zoo started feeding snakes on Tuesday (5 March 2013) after the snakes had awakened from hibernation as the weather is getting warmer these days. A group of mice was put into the enclosure to feed the snakes. A green viper killed one mouse with its venom and started to swallow it when another mouse came to rescue its partner. The alive mouse tried to pull the dead one out of the mouth of the snake and attacked the snake in an attempt to make it release its partner. But the brave mouse did not manage to stop the viper to swallow the dead one and it was eaten by another snake later. The mice might not have seen snakes as they came from labs, which could explain why one tried to rescue another when they were in danger, said a staff member of the zoo.
