If I remember correctly, shrews have very poor vision, so the children grab onto their mom's tail, moving in a tail-grabby conga line. So the critter in front here might have accidentally grabbed onto the wrong tail and led to an adorable ouroboros.
I could be wrong, though.
I've definitely seen that behavior (on video) but it could be maybe other rodents as well? I don't know though I'm not mouse expert.

If you force people to only listen to music from their country then Germany will start stealing others countries again, and knowing their taste they'll probably choose yours

This seems fine. This installation enables a live plant to control a machete. Plant machete has a control system that reads and utilizes the electrical noises found in a live philodendron. The system uses an open source micro-controller connected to the plant to read varying resistance signals across the plant’s leaves. Using custom software, these signals are mapped in real-time to the movements of the joints of the industrial robot holding a machete. In this way, the movements of the machete are determined based on input from the plant. Essentially the plant is the brain of the robot controlling the machete determining how it swings, jabs, slices and interacts in space.

The clinical tone is fun. “The machete has interacted with several types of tissue while moving within the environment. The machete has disrupted several structures. The machete has disrupted Robert.”

I mean you could probably just hook the same machine up to something like white noise or static on the TV and it would act exactly the same way. Calling the plant the "brain" is a bit of a stretch. The software that is there to convert the random noise to movements is the actual brain.

Okay sure, but what if the movements become more refined and efficient? What if, with enough practice, this plant truly becomes the master of bladework? Static cannot wield in the honorable swordsman's tradition, but there may be hope yet for young sir Phil O'Dendron

How we managed to domesticate wolves, wild boar, and ur-ox, but consistently failed with the cuddly bears, I'll never understand.
Clearly isn't for a lack of trying.
