Child shares milk with 'holy' temple rats

Ananova: 

A child has been sharing milk from a bowl with a group of "holy" rats at an Indian temple.

Hundreds of rats live undisturbed at the Karni Mata Hindu temple in Deshnoke, Rajasthan.

...
It's known locally as "Rat Temple".

The high priests protect the rats because their bodies are thought to house the souls of dead worshippers.

There are special holes allowing the rats to move around the temple.

It's said if you spot a white rat, you'll have good luck.
