By Scott Arnold

A quiet snack for a chipmunk turned into an unexpectedly wholesome moment when a duck wandered over to join the feast.

Instead of running off, the chipmunk stayed put as the two calmly shared peanuts side-by-side from a red lid on the ground in a Peterborough park.

The unlikely pair appeared completely comfortable together, creating a moment that looked more like old friends catching up than two wild animals meeting by chance.

It was one of those simple moments that makes you stop for a second. No rushing, no fighting over food, just two completely different animals quietly getting along over a shared snack.
