Humans and Hamsters

Sometimes there are common behavior exhibited by the two.

For example, when a person dies, it is not uncommon to see the one closest to the deceased crying out loud and still clinging to the dead body of the deceased, hoping for a miracle to happen.

The same goes for hamsters: You may see the other hamster(s) (if you have more than 1 kept together in the same cage), trying to nuzzle up to the dead hamster, and trying to nudge and lick the dead one in a futile attempt to wake it up.

While hamsters are unable to show any facial expressions, their behavior can be pretty obvious at times.
