Different animals have been known for their peculiar behaviour as well as appearance. But sometimes certain exceptional occurrences can leave people astonished.

A farmer in Madhya Pradesh was shocked to see a soya plant growing right out of a live rat’s body. Experts are baffled by this but suggest that a soya bean seed falling in an open wound and germinating may have caused it.

Datar Singh planted a soya bean crop in Ratlam earlier this year and was surprised to find the rodent when he inspected the crop. His neighbours filmed the rat and described it as being in pain.
