gohan & aochan

gohan and aochan live together in a cardboard box. gohan is a 3.5-inch dwarf hamster; aochan is a 3-foot-long ratsnake. they share a box at the mutsugoro okoku zoo near tokyo. back in october, aochan was getting finicky and started refusing to eat his regular diet of frozen mice. so the zookeepers got creative and gave him a hamster that they jokingly named gohan, also known as "meal" in japanese. but good ole aochan, instead of gobbling up dear ole gohan, decided that he liked her as a friend, not as food. so now, snake and hamster chill together on a daily basis.

it's a true story: hamster, snake best friends at tokyo zoo

haha, awesome. :)
