Un hámster se hace amigo de una serpiente que debía comérselo
En un zoológico de la capital japonesa, un hámster no sólo se ha salvado de ser devorado por una serpiente, sino que además convive tranquilamente con quien debía haber sido su depredador.
La dieta de Aochan, una serpiente de 1,20 metros de largo, consistía en roedores congelados, pero llegó el día en que se hartó, así que los empleados del zoológico decidieron darle un hámster vivo. Pero Aochan se negó a comerse al roedor de 9 centímetros, que desde ese entonces pasó a llamarse Gohan ("comida").
Un guardián del parque dijo que nunca había visto nada así y que no entendía cómo se volvieron amigos. "Aochan parece disfrutar mucho de la compañía de Gohan", señaló. Incluso el roedor se queda dormido encima del reptil.

A hamster befriends the snake that should have eaten it
At a zoo in the Japanese capital, a hamster not only escaped being devoured by a snake but lives peacefully together with whom should have been its predator.
The diet of Aochan, a 1.2 meter long snake, consisted in frozen rodents, but there came the day when he got fed up with it, so zoo employees decided to give him a live hamster. However, Aochan refused to eat the 9-centimeter rodent, who from then on began to be called Gohan ("meal").
A zookeeper said he had never seen anything like that, and that he did not understand how they became friends. "Aochan seems to enjoy Gohan's company a lot," he pointed out. The rodent even falls asleep on top of the reptile.
