Roborovski hamster / Хомячок Роборовского / Phodopus roborovskii

Here’s a short clip from BBC programme ’Wild China’, Beyond the Great Wall. It shows Roborovski hamsters, the smallest and fastest kind of hamsters, in their natural environment. Fascinating to think, appearance wise Robo’s haven’t changed a bit since they were discovered and bred in captivity over 100 years ago. Video copyright BBC.
