HI GUYS IM CATIE WAYNE AND THIS IS ANIMALIST NEWS.
PLEASE, TELL ME YOUVE SEEN THIS VIDEO. OH GOD. OH GOD. OH GOD. I CANT EVEN HANDLE
HOW CUTE THIS VIDEO IS, AND APPARENTLY NEITHER CAN THE REST OF THE INTERNET.
SO NATURALLY, THIS VIDEO IS GOING VIRAL. OH MY GOSH, LOOK AT HIS CHUBBY CHEEKS HOW
IS HE EVEN DOING THAT? WELL IM HERE TO TELL YA! AND, ACTUALLY
THE ANSWER IS A LOT MORE OBVIOUS THAN I ANTICIPATED. HAMSTERS HAVE FLEXIBLE CHEEKS.
WELL GUYS, BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THESE VIDEOS OVER HERE AND SUBSCRIBE RIGHT HERE! I LOVE--
WHAT? NO, I DONT THINK THEYLL MIND. COME ON. FINE.
MAYBE A BETTER QUESTION IS WHY IS HE DOING THAT? HAMSTERS STORE FOOD IN THEIR CHEEKS
SO THEY CAN SAVE IT FOR LATER! EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THIS LITTLE HAMSTER
IN THE VIDEO IS GOING TO CHOKE AND DIE, SYRIAN HAMSTERS ARE ACTUALLY CAPABLE OF CARRYING
AROUND HALF THEIR BODY WEIGHT IN FOOD ALONE! THAT IS SO MUCH FOOD.
HAMSTER CHEEKS ARE IDEAL FOR STORING FOOD BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF SALIVARY GLANDS,
AND THUS CAN KEEP FOOD DRY. BUT SOMETIMES BECAUSE OF THIS ABSCESSES CAN FORM FROM FOOD
SCRAPING THEIR FOOD POUCH. IF YOUR HAMSTERS CHUBBY CHEEKS ARE PROTRUDING EVEN WHEN HE
DOESNT HAVE FOOD IN HIS MOUTH, IT MIGHT BE TIME TO TAKE HIM TO THE VET.
WHAT IS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF FOOD YOUVE EVER EATEN, BE SURE TO LET ME KNOW IN THE
COMMENTS BELOW! CHECK OUT THESE VIDEOS BLAHBLAHBLAH.
