Backstripe Hamster

Backstripe hamsters are a species of Wild Hamster endemic to northern Nareemia and most of Siere, especially the Hilleys and Zenith Mountains. They are multicoloured and solitary and prey on smaller wild hamsters. They are omnivores. They, like their name, are striped, often calico-styled with beige and brownish-black. 
== Behavior ==
Backstripe hamsters often live in temperate woodlands and foothills of mountains, but not the mountains. They are quite large in size, similar to a ferret.
They, like many hamsters, stuff any berries or dead carcass they find in their cheeks and place their food into their burrows. They, being larger can pick up twice as many food then a normal hamster. They have long tails unlike hamsters which can help them detect predators ambushing them from behind.
Mother backstripe hamsters are only friendly to their youth, they will groom their youth and even feed their youth while nurturing them. When her youth grow into their mature state, she kicks them out, and mates with another hamster, and repeats the cycle. They are sometimes domesticated and eat lettuce, dandelion greens, broccoli spears, artichokes and meat. 
== Hybrids ==
Many metro cities in Nareemia, specifically, Vitena, are breeding domesticated s with other breeds of hamsters, like martines hamster. They call these hamsters, quote on quote, mutt hamsters. 
Most states in Nareemia have made this illegal, but parts of Stagg and Vitena are an exception.
