Yes. One species of hamster does have a 'long' tail. The Chinese hamster (often mislabelled the Chinese Dwarf hamster) has a tail that measures roughly 1inch, although this doesn't seem that long, it is when compared to other hamster species. All other hamsters have short tails - the length depending on what species they are. (eg Syrian, Russian Campbell's dwarf, Winter white dwarf or roborovski dwarf).

How long are giraffes' tails?
Giraffes' tails are typically between 8 to 10 feet long. They use their tails to swat away insects and as a communication tool with other giraffes.
Why do jaguars have long tails?
Their long tails help in balance and they also act as a way to communicate. That communication can occur with a shorter tail.
What sense do hamsters provide and how do long whiskers help hamsters?
Hamsters primarily rely on their sense of smell to navigate their environment and communicate with other hamsters. Their long whiskers serve as tactile sensors, helping them to detect objects and changes in their surroundings. The whiskers also aid in sensing vibrations and airflow, which can alert hamsters to potential danger or nearby predators.

What is the difference between a Hamster and a gerbil?
1. A gerbil has got a long tail and a hamster has a short stub. 2. A gerbil is a bit like a rat, but smaller, with a furry tail and a shorter snout. 3. Gerbils LOVE chewing and shredding up things, but hamsters don't as much. 4. Gerbils come from the desert. They don't pee very often because they don't drink much. 5. Gerbils are awake during the day. Hamsters are nocturnal. 6. Hamsters have more dark meat.A gerbil is much less a people critter. A gerbil also sleeps 4 hours, then is awake four hours. A hamster (notice the spelling, no p) is noternal. Plus, a gerbil chews everything, while a hamster doesn't. Therefore, a gerbil cannot be put into the plastic houses for ever, because they will find a way to eat it and escape.
