Djungarian hamsterとは 意味・読み方・使い方

(Phodopus sungorus) is also known as the "Russian Winter White dwarf hamster" is a species of hamster in the genus Phodopu. They are typically half the size of the better-known Golden Hamster/Syrian hamster, and therefore called a dwarf hamster along with all Phodopus species. Features include a typically thick dark grey dorsal stripe and furry feet. The tail is so short that it hardly shows when the hamster is sitting. As winter approaches and the days shorten, the Siberian hamster's dark fur is almost entirely replaced with white fur (hence the name). In the wild, this adaptation helps them evade predators in the snow-covered steppes of winter. In captivity this does not always happen. They are mainly found in Dzungaria, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Manchuria.
