Description

When: May 22, 2021

Where: Faunapark Flakkee Nieuwe-Tonge, The Netherlands

It's a happy balancing Mouse

Species: Eurasian Harvest Mouse (Dwergmuis)

Latin name: Micromys Minutus

Originates from Eurasia.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…It is the smallest European rodent, with adults weighing no more than 4 to 11 grams and measuring between 55 and 75 mm.

…They use their naked-tipped, highly prehensile tail for climbing and balance. They also have a somewhat opposable outermost toe allowing it to grasp stems with each stemfoot and tail. This frees their front paws for food collection.

…The Harvest Mouse has recovered from a Near Threatened status but is up in numbers due to conservation efforts.
