The Red Threat

http://brocx.net/images/hamsters/WinterWhiteBobWhite.jpg

Siberian hamsters are awesome! But beware: the Soviets have infiltrated our homes and pet stores.

( Siberian hamsters are also apparently capable of drastically altering their metabolisms, so isolating the "hamster gene" is the holy grail of dieting O_o )

"The first laboratory colony was formed in Leningrad from a group of hamsters captured in Tuva, Mongolia. Later one female and two males were sent from Leningrad to the Institute of Experimental and Clinical Oncology in Moscow. Soon afterwards the offspring of these hamsters were exported to laboratories all over Europe. The capitalists in these countries soon saw the potential for profit in these cute little 'pocket pets' and now they are the most common dwarf hamster in pet stores around the globe!"
