It’s an adorable and intelligent predator.

　　问：Have you ever had a pet before?

　　Yes, I have. When I was a kid, I used to buy ducks, hamsters, and goldfishes at the gate of my primary school and keep them as pets. I believe a lot of Chinese children have the same experience. But, to be honest, I was never a good keeper, most of them would die within 3 or 4 days either because I forgot to feed them or I gave them too much food.
