...Zanzibar? What the hell-
[Here's a voice that doesn't crop up on the network at large all that often. Snake's not really too good with public speaking or small talk. This, however, is neither of those. In fact, he'd meant to direct it to

Poisonous hamsters though...that's special.

Venomous, technically. Can kill a man with one bite. They were being used to guard a fortress I was infiltrating.

No joke. You could test it out, but I wouldn't recommend it.
[...please don't test it out, you're like, the only reasonable person he knows. He pulls a face.]
It's that hard to believe, huh?

[Not to mention Metal Gear REX. ...And Liquid.]
