A taxidermied golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is displayed on a small, light brown box
A taxidermied golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is displayed on a small, light brown box. The box has a handwritten label with Danish text, including "Guldhamster," "Mesocricetus auratus," "Hanne," "Skl. årok adj. N. A.", "Journ. 15.1.1951", and "f. m. ex. 1.303 E. Fini". A black plaque below the display reads "Guldhamster" and "Golden hamster" in white text. The display is set against a dark background, likely in a museum or educational exhibit. The hamster is facing to the right, with its front paws tucked underneath it. The overall impression is that of a scientific exhibit. This display is located in the Malmö Natural History Museum (Malmö Naturhistoriska Museum) in Malmö, Sweden.
