Dormice of Europe
- Watercolor and graphite on paper, digital layout
- 16.5 x 11.7 in
- Denitsa Peneva
The image represents all 5 dormice species found in Europe (Mouse-tailed dormouse (Myomimus roachi); Forest dormouse (Dryomys nitedula); European fat dormouse (Glis glis); Hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius); Garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus)), each on a plant, part of their typical habitat, diet, or both. The Garden dormouse is the carnivorous one, hence the garden snail ahead of him.
This poster was done for the 11th International Dormouse Conference, held last year in Svilengrad, Bulgaria, where а major part of the population of the endemic mouse-tailed dormouse can be found, after being rediscovered recently.
