Odd Couple 2006...
A dwarf hamster, obviously in a lethargic advanced state of "lowered expectations", has been sharing a home (a cardboard box, really) in a zoo with a metre-long snake!
The snake was offered Gohan the hamster as a tasty treat, of course - but, to the dismay of the zookeepers, the sinuous reptile decided to be friends with the hamster instead! Note here that the zookeepers, in their refined cruelty, named the hamster "Gohan" as a joke - for gohan in their language stands for... "meal"!
However it meant "roommate" to the snake, who decided to shack up with Gohan ever since!
Tokyo has never seen such odd animals - not even if one factors in the Gojira menagerie!
FYI - Aochan (the snake) makes do with frozen mice as his main courses...
(Hmm... What does the name "aochan" mean, I wonder? Owtch? Atchoooo?!? Who knows with those heartless zookeepers... Tokyo weirdos!)
