Buddies

I saw this on msn today. I thought it was pretty funny. Zookeepers at a Tokyo zoo presented the hamster, Gohan, to a rat snake, Aochan, as a tasty live meal because the snake had stopped eating frozen mice. Instead of gobbling up Gohan (which means "meal" in Japanese), Aochan didn't eat the hamster, but made a new friend. They've been living in a cage together ever since. Gohan sometimes even climbs onto the snake to take a nap on his back.
