The Eurasian dormouse is a small, nocturnal rodent found across Europe and parts of Asia. It has a round body, large eyes, and a bushy tail, which helps it balance while climbing trees. This species typically inhabits woodlands, hedgerows, and gardens, where it builds nests in tree hollows or dense vegetation. Eurasian dormice are known for their hibernation behavior, often sleeping for several months during winter to conserve energy. They primarily feed on fruits, nuts, and insects, making them important for seed dispersal in their ecosystems. Their population is affected by habitat loss and climate change.
