Ninja Hamsters

I didn't know that hamsters lived naturally in Europe. I thought they were from South America like guinea pigs ... if that's right.

Ninja Hamsters - Csaba Godeny

They are apparently very territorial, but some years have seen something of a population explosion in Hungary. This prompts extreme competition for territory, and open air fights break out. These two are from a stunning set captured by Csaba Godeny.
