At times, the pages of Genesis1 comes to mind. The latest discovery is the behaviour of tunas that like to rid
themselves of irritating parasites.
They tend to find sharks to do the job. “Scraped sharks appeared unbothered by the activity. “I was kind of surprised at how nonchalant the sharks were,’ says Chris Thompson.”
We
have also heard a cat on an Irish farm that adopted ducklings.
This reminds us of Eden, when bad things had not yet happened. Thorns did not
grow, and death did not reign in the animal kingdom. Small
creatures did not fear big ones or even humans.
