Mouse-like hamsters are a group of small rodents found in Syria, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. They are found in rocky outcrops and semimountainous area in desert regions.
The mouse-like hamsters are not true hamsters, but represent an early split from the rest of the mouse-like rodents. They were once thought to be hamsters based on the shape of their molars, but they lack the cheek pouches, sebaceous flank glands, and short tails of the true hamsters. The closest relatives of mouse-like hamsters may be the fossil Cricetodontidae. Because of their seemingly early break from the rest of the mouse-like rodents, mouse-like hamsters have been placed in a family of their own, Calomyscidae, and have been referred to as living fossils.
All members of this genus were once considered part of the same species, Calomyscus bailwardi, but they are now referred to as separate species due to major differences in chromosome number, skull measurements, and other features.
Did you think this could happen, did you think you were warm
Holding my body for ransom, is just an idea to try and even the score
A habits' so hard to break, I'm planning my big escape
So did you think this could happen, my body falls to the floor
And if I get put to rest, this is my last request
If life goes on don't ever sell yourself for something you'll regret
And where building this higher and higher we go,
Like a crash course through the rain where do we lose control
I'm waiting on the signal from the top of the world is anybody out there
You can't fight the feeling, and what were we thinking
You can't fight the feeling, you get from fading out
And what were we thinking, cause I've come to far to still get shut down
And where building this higher and higher we go,
Like a crash course through the rain where do we lose control
I'm waiting on the signal from the top of the world is anybody out there
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance on the ones you lose, you do and they just keep on laughing)
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance the ones you do, you lose and they just keep on making it up)
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance on the ones you lose, you do and they just keep on laughing)
Waiting on the resolution, try to take control
(Take a chance the ones you do, you lose and they just keep on making it up)
And where building this higher and higher we go,
Like a crash course through the rain where do we lose control
