Eversmann's hamster

Eversmann's hamster (Allocricetulus eversmanni) is a species of hamster in the family Cricetidae, and is one of two members of the genus Allocricetulus.

It is named after the Russian naturalist, zoologist, and explorer Eduard Friedrich Eversmann,[2] who collected the holotype of this species.

It is found in Kazakhstan, China, and Russia.

The Evermann’s hamster has a notable subspecies: Allocricetulus eversmanni pseudocurtatus.

[3] There are karyological and morphological differences between Allocricetulus eversmanni pseudocurtatus and Allocricetulus eversmanni which support the idea that these subspecies form sister clades.
