A rabbit and an eagle have become unlikely best friends in China.

The owner of the eagle put the rabbit in its cage at Beizhamen Bird Market, Zhengzho City, for the bird's dinner.

But instead of following its predatory nature, the eagle made friends with the startled but fortunate rabbit. "The rabbit very humbly combs the eagle's feathers with its mouth," the surprised owner said.

"The eagle is four-months-old, but apparently he doesn't know how to enjoy his meals."

Hehe, you keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

ooooooh! Good one!

My thought was 'saving the best for last!'

Smart bunny, combing the eagles tail feathers like that! But nature never seases to amze me! You never can tell for sure what will happen to surprise you next!

Awww. <3 So cute.

That's kinda cool.

I'm seeing a trend here.

Thats sweet

Well how can you not fall in love with a cute little bunny like that!

When you have a hankerin for cute little bunny.

Dumb bunny...Look at that eagle, he's just sizing him up....

Bunnies. What can you do?

Reminds me of the hippo and tortise story...

So what is the eagle being fed? If it's live prey it won't be long before bunny ends up getting in the way.

And the monkey & pigeon story.
And the leopard & antilope calf story.
I love stories like these
