<p>202.92.109.34: </p> <hr /> <div>A sub-species of [[hamster]], scientific name ''Cricetus Griseus'', which originate in the deserts of Southern [[China]] and [[Mongolia]]. These animals grow to between 7.5 and 9cm in length and as adults can weight 50-75 grams. They live two to three years on average. <br /> <br /> A Chinese hamster's body proportions, compared with those of other hamsters, appear &quot;long and thin&quot; and they have (for a hamster) a relatively long tail. Chinese hamsters are not, technically, &quot;Dwarf&quot; hamsters since this term refers to animals in the genus Phodopus, (the two types of Russian Dwarf hamsters and Roborovskii's Dwarf hamsters).<br /> <br /> The wild colour is greyish brown above with a black stripe down the spine and a whitish belly. This colouration, combined with their lithe build and longer tail, makes them look &quot;mousy&quot; to some eyes and, in fact, they are members of the group called &quot;mouse like&quot; hamsters. However, they have quiet temperaments and are easily handled; one of their endearing traits is that of clinging to a finger with all four paws, rather like a harvest mouse on a corn stalk. Chinese hamsters can be quite nervous as youngsters but, once they are tame, display an endearing calmness and gentleness of character.<br /> <br /> Biotech drugs are commonly produced by putting the gene for the protein into Chinese hamster ovary cells, which then churn out the protein.<br /> <br /> {{mammal-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Hamsters]]<br /> [[fr:Cricetulus]]</div>
