Hamster, snake best friends at Tokyo zoo

[Brutuskend]

TOKYO - Gohan and Aochan make strange bedfellows: one's a 3.5-inch dwarf hamster; the other is a yard-long rat snake.

Zookeepers at Tokyo's Mutsugoro Okoku zoo presented the hamster ? whose name is a tasty rice dish in Japanese ? to Aochan as a snack in October, after the snake refused to eat frozen mice.

But instead of indulging, Aochan decided to make friends with the furry rodent, according to keeper Kazuya Yamamoto. The pair have shared a cage since.

Sorry repost. I know I've seen it, too lazy to look for it. Still a cool story.

Enentually that snake will eat that hampster, either when he is really hungry or after a few too many drinks.
