Mice, crickets, chickens, rabbits and hamsters are the most Yummy foods for a snake, not without reason they are animals that rarely fight when eaten by their predators. But at the Tokyo Mutsugoro Animal Kingdom Animal Store, Japan there is a strange incident that makes us not believe to hear it, namely the friendship of snakes with hamsters.
Different species friendships occur from accident, starting when a snake named Ao-Chan ran out of food. Usually he was given a ration to eat frozen mice, but because of the tightness the shop owner finally bought a Hamster for the Snake Ao Chan's food.
Strangeness began to occur here, instead of being eaten but the Hamster was even friends with the Snake. The hairy rodent looked fun playing and was not afraid to be around Ao-Chan.
The hamster named Gohan-chan was seen massaging Ao-chan's head, and vice versa with the Snake Ao-Chan he loved Gohan with his stroking, it seemed he showed no sign that he was interested in eating Gohan.
Unfortunately the story of their friendship does not end happily. Since video snakes are friends with this viral hamster. The Tokyo Mutsugoro Animal Kingdom pet shop received strong criticism from the public. They accuse the animal shop of only fabricating fairy tales about snake friendship with the hamster for commercial purposes.
Some argue what causes snakes and hamsters to be "friends". This is all because the snake when entering winter will reduce its activity and not eat live animals. He will start preparing for the hibernation process during the winter, this is the reason why Gohan the Hamster is not eaten by Snake Ao Chan.
The negative public reaction finally made the shop owner move Gohan and Ao-Chan in a separate cage, a few months later the Tokyo Mutsugoro Animal Kingdom pet store reportedly went bankrupt and closed. There is no news about Gohan and Ao-Chan where they are now. But we can still see video footage of the beautiful friendship of the snake and the hamster.
