This is the amazing moment a mighty mouse took on a hungry leopard - and won.
The brave rodent appeared to be unaware of the wild cat towering over it while he tucked into some food.
Instead of pouncing on food rival the cowardly bigcat called Sheena appeared to be too scared and lost out on its own lunch.
The bizarre sight took place at Santago Rare Leopard Project in Hertfordshire.
Photography student Casey Gutteridge who was photographing the leopard for a course project, was astounded by the mouse's behaviour.
He said he had no idea where the mouse came from.
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.

It's all or nothing in the animal kingdom -- When your hungry, you will fight to the death for that bit of food...animals would be ruthless during a recession.

I saw this in the paper earlier on the way to work and it made me smile without warning. There is something inexplicably beautiful about nature, that can sometimes strike a chord in a primal sort of way.

Great story! What researchers should now be doing is pitting this fearless mouse up against the undisputed champion of animal kingdom bouts; the lion!
The mouse could use this Viral Video Film School to check up on his opponent before the fight ...
