1. Golden hamster

   The golden hamster or Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is a rodent belonging to the hamster subfamily, Cricetinae. Their natural geographical range is in an arid region of northern Syria and southern Turkey. Their numbers have been declining in the wild due to a loss of habitat from agriculture and deliberate elimination by humans. Thus, wild golden hamsters are now considered endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. However, captive breeding programs are well-established, and captive-bred golden hamsters are often kept as small house pets. They are also used as scientific research animals throughout the world. Syrian hamsters are larger than many of the dwarf hamsters kept as pocket pets (up to five times larger), though the wild European hamster exceeds Syrian hamsters in size.

1. golden hamster

   A golden hamster, also known as a Syrian hamster, is a species of hamster that's native to the dry areas of northern Syria and southern Turkey. This type of hamster is a popular choice as a pet because of its docile, solitary, and nocturnal nature. Golden hamsters are typically golden-brown with lighter colored bellies, but various color mutations exist as a result of selective breeding. They are commonly kept in wired or glass enclosures and are known for their cheek pouches where they store food. They typically grow to be 5 to 7 inches long and live for about 2-3 years in captivity.
