Fill Your Day With Cute Vibe Of Wild Hamsters Playing With Mother Nature

Carolyn Mullet

What do you think when you hear of hamsters? Maybe the image of a domestic hamster running a mill wheel will pop up in most of our minds. However, these adorable animals also enjoy their lives in the open environment with big trees and wild berries.
But how do we know they live their lives to the fullest among wild plants and other animals? If you doubt it, take a look at this lovely image collection of photographer Julian Rad.

Julian Rad, a photographer living in Central Europe, has a strong affinity for wild little species. He captures photos of the black-bellied hamster, also known as the common hamster. His place is close to the Danube " where many different animals can be found, and at one point in my life I started taking images of them."

He used to work with insect macro photography before moving on to photos of rodents such as squirrels and hamsters. Since wild animals are mostly unpredictable, it takes lots of effort and patience to catch a moment of them.

Rad shared that he had to wait and observe the animals for a long time in his photo-hide to snap a good shot. He has gradually learned that you need to"be patient and do not chase the animals, let them come to you."
"That is exactly why nature photography is so challenging, you need empathy, knowledge of species, endurance, and a pinch of luck," Rad added.

One evening, while he was lying on a meadow waiting for the right moment, a little hamster came near his leg to say hi. The animal seemed totally comfortable with him, and Rad admitted that he had "never experienced something like that, moments like this and being able to be so close to the animals are the reason why I love what I do."
