Okay, so this is old news, but apparently the Tokyo Zoo has a strange friend pairing: a snake and a hamster.
The hamster was originally given to the snake as food during a phase when the snake wasn't eating, but the snake ignored it. Eventually, the snake recovered to start eating frozen hamsters again, but he has never tried to hurt the live one.
I guess the zoo knows a good media story when it sees it, and the two animals have lived together in the same cage since.
There's video of the two on here (warning: snake close-up in the first few shots):

And the snake shall lie down with the hamster

Yeah. I have heard of it before but this is the first time I saw the video. There is nature and this is also nurture. A lot of things are determined by nature, but there are also other forces at work.
