A snake befriended a hamster that was supposed to be his dinner

Aochan, a rat snake at the Mutsugoro Okoku Zoo, was cohabiting with his hamster friend Gohan for over a year. This was despite the fact that the hamster was introduced to his cage so that the hungry constrictor would eat him. Instead, the two animals got along swimmingly, and they even sometimes sleep together. Their unusual companionship has gotten the attention of the zookeepers, and visitors to the zoo make sure to visit the odd couple.
