In the year 1839 a British zoologist named George Robert Waterhouse found an elderly female hamster in Syria. After this discovery, there wasn't much more found out until a century later.
In 1930, Israel Aharoni, another zoologist, found a female hamster and her litter of pups in Syria. Most hamsters in captivity today are believed to be descendents of this litter.
