A European hamster.
Wild hamsters are found in grasslands throughout central Europe.
Here, in the city, they're doing extremely well.
This male is on a mission to find food.
The coast looks clear.
But best not take any chances.
The trick is to get in and out before you're caught.
And now...dessert.
Candle wax - it's full of oil and high in calories.
A hamster's cheeks can hold a quarter of its body weight.
Just one more mouthful.
SQUEAKING
Oh, dear.
Big cheeks and narrow bottlenecks.
How very embarrassing.
Mission accomplished.
