4. You know what I think is weird

are all the stories about different animal species working together, communicating, playing together? It could be I am just seeing similar videos of this stuff on Facebook, YouTube, but it just seems like a huge coincidence that different species are modeling such extraordinary heroic and kind behavior right now.

Or, maybe it's just my view because I am looking for it? Don't know.

Snakes usually have hamsters for lunch. But when rat snake Ao-chan and dwarf hamster Gohan-chan met at a Japanese zoo, it was love - and not at first bite. Now, the 120-centimetre snake and gray hamster are room mates, living together in a heated glass box.

8. went to the youtube site

fascinating.

Somebody said the snake ate the hamster 2 days later.

Wouldn't surprise me but it kind of takes the warm fuzziness out of it all.

The snake may have just been very certain of his next meal & in no rush.
