Hamster and snake best friends at
Tokyo zoo
"TOKYO - "Gohan" the hamster was supposed to be dinner. But now he and a rat snake are best buddies.
Zookeepers in Tokyo named the dwarf hamster Gohan as a joke, because it means "meal" in Japanese. It was put in the snake's cage in October for the reptile's supper.
Zookeepers say the critters have been sharing the cage ever since. The snake shows no signs of eyeing its furry little friend for dinner. The hamster even climbs onto the four-foot-long snake's back to take naps. "

I love stories like this. When I was at the Humane Society yesterday, I saw two little kittens, one sleeping with his head on the other kitten's back, both of them intertwined. Just so sweet and endearing...
