Hamsters: Notice the scientific names, not all "Hamsters" are even the same species of animal. There are three distinct species of animal referred to as Hamsters: Cricetulus, Phodopus, and Mesocricetus.
Campbell's Russian Dwarf Hamster
Scientific Name: Phodopus campbelli
Were discovered by W C Campbell in 1902 in Tuva, Asia. They are native to the steppes and semi-arid areas of Central Asia, the Altay Mountains and northeastern China.
They were not as some sites claim, bred by Mr. Campbell from Russian and Syrian Hamsters nor any other "special breeding".
Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamster
Scientific Name: Phodopus sungorus
Similar to Campbell's Russian Dwarf Hamsters. They can be found in Siberia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia and they are also known as Siberian Hamsters.
Syrian Hamster
Scientific Name: Mesocricetus auratus
Originate from Syria.
Roborovski Hamster
Scientific Name: Phodopus roborovskii

Chinese Hamster
Scientific Name: Cricetulus griseus
Originate from the deserts of northern China and Mongolia.
