Bad news, friends! Common hamsters seem to have disappeared from the Yaroslavl area. No, we're not talking about balls of fur with beady eyes that small children beg for in pet stores. We are talking about tough and scary hamsters. These friends once walked freely and enjoyed life in the meadows and fields of Yaroslavl. And now they are gone! Our Department of Natural Resources even asks you to take a photo with these hamsters if you happen to come across them while gardening. Your photo may become the first scientific record of the return of a hamster to the land of Yaroslavl in recent decades - the office says!: Ministry of Natural Resources of the Autonomous Okrug of Yaroslavl in immediate contact - in max.
