Hamsters

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamster

Summary: Hamsters are part of the Cricetinae family. They are rodents that burrow underground during the day so that when night falls, they won’t have to worry about predators. They have pouches on their head that expand so they can hold food in them for the colony or to be eaten later. They eat insects, fresh and dried fruits, vegetables, and nuts.

Critique: I like hamsters because they are cute and don’t bother or hurt anyone, unless they bite you. They also don’t take up very much space because they are so small.

Impact: The impact they have on the Earth is a positive one because they make great house pets. They also have a positive impact on the food chain because with out them it would be very different.
