This Mammillaria albiflora was attached by the mouse digging for seeds in the body, then by mites while it was under the staging waiting to see if it lived or died. It lived

I think they are quite strong plants, i have a few seedlings with very little amount of roots (if we count them as roots ) , somehow they manage to survive.

Perhaps we need a new class for the show "Most unlikely survival" or some such...
