Harvest mouse

Even though the lifespan of a harvest mouse is just 18 months, its days are filled with adventures. Being Europe's smallest rodent, it is the only British mammal to have a prehensile tail, giving it the ability to grasp plant stems as it moves through long vegetation. And probably no photographer has captured these little acrobats as well as Dean Mason from Dorset, United Kingdom.

This critter can be found in parts of northern Asia in addition to Europe and prefers habitats with tall grasses, such as meadows and grain fields. It’s quite acrobatic, using its prehensile tail and opposable outer toes to climb plant stems and grasses. Photo: hehaden
