Syrian hamster Anatomy Sense Organs
Syrian hamsters have, like most animals, five senses. They can see, hear, touch, taste and smell. They have good eyesight, however but rely largely on smell to find food sources. Some people believe they are colorblind and have poor vision in daylight. However, other evidence suggests they can see very well. Their tongue senses taste in the same way as humans do, salty at the tip of the toungue, bitter at the back and sweet at the sides.
