They opted to try and remove the latter from a group of Syrian hamsters, with the expectation it would increase bonding and co-operation between the lovable little critters.

Avpr1a is understood to regulate things like teamwork and friendship as well as dominance and bonding 🐹 Credits: Getty

A Government source said:

It re-emerged in 2019 as a TV series for Disney+ and finally arrives at the end of this week almost 45 years to the day since A New Hope hit cinemas 📺

Researchers found that fish and sharks inhabit the super-heated sulfer-infused acidic waters around the volcano.
The water contains volcanic rock fragments and it’s believed the sharks may have actually mutated to help them cope with the extreme conditions 🦈😳
