Fat Dormouse on a Tree Branch
Equipped with prominent round ears and a bushy tail, this nocturnal mammal sits perched upon a tree branch. Its rounded body shape reflects the energy reserves accumulated for long seasonal rest periods spent tucked away in safe wooden hollows.
Hibernation and Tree Canopy Life
The fat dormouse spends a major portion of the year in deep hibernation, sometimes sleeping uninterrupted for up to seven months. To prepare for this long rest, it feeds extensively on nuts and fruits late in the summer, significantly increasing its weight before retreat.
Natural Colors of the Fat Dormouse
- Upper body coat: soft silvery gray or ash brown fur
- Underbelly and throat: creamy white or light pale yellow tone
- Round ears: pinkish-gray bare skin with fine pale hair
- Fluffy tail: uniform grayish-brown matching the back fur
