Why is the yahoo answers mascot a hamster?

Not just any hamster...it's a Zhu Zhu Pet =OOO

or Hamtaro's cousin. Lolz.

That's an excellent question, probably cuz hamsters are adorable and will attract attention XD

It's a rodent like mice and guinea pigs used in science experiments to find out about new things. The hamster is used in children's science experiments with a hamster put through a maze to find food.

It is picked as a mascot to represent the fun of learning.

The Hamster knows all.

Because.

...I suppose, though I may be stretching logic a bit far, that because hamsters have hamster wheels, and when you're answering questions you get your "wheels" a-turning. The hamster represents your brain.

i thought the mascot was a smiling green tomato

People like hamsters? xD

Maybe Kia knows?

They use a hamster in their car commercials. =D

i assume that hamsters hold close out with scientists and the uniform represents that he's coaching for something. I dont think of Yahoo is as clever with the aid of fact the human beings answering or asking or in basic terms human beings in many circumstances.

their mascot should be a troll.

The inventor of this has some weird fetishes.
