A lucky hamster has escaped virtually unscathed after passing through an industrial shredder.
The animal is thought to have found its way into a skip of rubbish that arrived at a recycling plant in Flintshire, north Wales.
He passed along a conveyor belt and then through a giant shredder, which can tear a cooker or washing machine to pieces in seconds.
He then survived a rotating drum and vibrating grids before he was discovered in a sorting area by astonished staff, who named him Mike.
The ordeal, which probably lasted around four minutes, left the rodent with nothing more than a sore foot.
