Dormouse
The Dormouse is a rodent found in Africa, Asia, and Europe. One of its most notable characteristics is its ability to live in temperate zones because of its hibernation. It can hibernate for six months of the year or even longer. Its sleepy behavior is reflected in “Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland.”
The peculiar way it can avoid predators is by literally giving them the slip. The skin on its tail is very loose, and when an enemy grabs hold of the critter by its back end, the skin comes off and gives the dormouse the means to escape.
