Be afraid of hungry island mice.
The birds did not fight off their attackers, even as some mice fed inside the body cavity of one albatross chick.

Researchers say the footage provides the first hard evidence that mice previously thought harmless to seabirds are willing to attack prey more than 300 times their weight.

Geoff Hilton, a U.K.-based biologist with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and study co-author, has compared the mismatch to a house cat attacking a hippopotamus.
Holy crap! I hope my cat doesn't read this? Right now she only stands on my head on Saturday morning when her food bowl is empty. I don't know what the hell I'd do if she was in my body cavity eating my organs.
