Hamster (Syrian Hamster (Golden Hamster), Dwarf Hamster)
"Hamsters have cheek pouches for temporarily storing food and transporting it to their nests."

"Tarsiers have enormous eyes, occupying nearly half their heads, can rotate their necks almost 180 degrees, and are skilled jumpers preying on insects."
