Hamster took refuge in bottle during earthquake

This little hamster in Japan chose to hide in a bottle during a recent earthquake.



Its owner was casually playing with her hamster when the earthquake struck.





It wasn’t an especially strong tremor, but in the moment it took her to look around the room to check that nothing could topple over or fall from a shelf, her hamster had scurried away.



When she finally found the little fella, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. But after checking he was okay and not under any stress, she snapped a few photos. Once he’d recovered from the shock of the earthquake, he climbed out and continued about his business.
