Cats brought home the Lipchan Red Book guest

An unusual guest was discovered by a resident of Lipetsk: his cats brought a hamster. The man told Lipetsk No. 1 that he had never met such animals in his area before. According to him, this is an ordinary hamster that lives in meadows and is listed in the Red Book.

He asked neighbors and acquaintances, but none of them saw such animals nearby. He urged citizens not to disturb the hamsters if they catch their eye: the animal can bite if it feels threatened.

According to the man, the number of hamsters is declining due to plowing fields - the places where they live. Therefore, it is better to observe such an animal from a distance and not try to catch it.
