𝐺𝑙𝑖𝑠 𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠 is a chunky #dormouse with gray fur, large eyes, and a bushy tail. It’s an agile climber, feeding on nuts, fruits, and occasionally #insects. True to its name, it was once considered a delicacy in ancient #Rome, hence “edible dormouse”!

After a week away, we’re back with #TautonymTuesday! Meet 𝐺𝑙𝑖𝑠 𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠, the edible #dormouse. Native to Europe & W Asia, this nocturnal #rodent is famous for its long hibernation—up to 7 months! It’s also the largest dormouse species, reaching up to 30 cm long.

Dormice may have hibernated as early as 34 million years ago

In analysing #rodent fossils, scientists funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation have come up with a novel hypothesis: #hibernation was a survival strategy 34 million years ago.

A digital watercolour painting of a mother dormouse being awoken by her two daughters on Christmas morning. The daughters are both wearing red Christmas hats, and the younger of the two holds out a stocking stuffed with presents, while the eldest clutches a teddy bear.

Another from the winter childhood series! Instead of focusing on what we received, i wanted to illustrate that initial feeling, rushing into mum's room in the early hours to share our excitement…

If not for the book club, she likely wouldn't read - she always has so many projects, and not enough time in the day for all of them...

#hibernation season has hit and I've slowed down along with the slow down in surveys, but did get out on another #dormouse survey just before the cold snap with some lovely chonky boys found, one at a whopping 32g!

So glad I don't have a car as I'd probably feel somehow obliged to use it.

Instead, I'm content in my #dormouse like state w worlds within books beckoning my eyes away from this screen & only venturing out in nature when warmth of the sun wakes me to uncurl.

To greet a lovely lady perhaps ..

If I could choose what animal I would like to be in my next life, I would like to be a #dormouse. Sleeping for 180 days sounds fantastic.😴 #wishfulthinking #nextlifeexperience
