Wood Mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) WM109
The Wood Mouse is a common and widespread species found across most of Europe. They inhabit forests, fields and grasslands, often moving into buildings during cold weather. Their staple diet consists of seeds, snails, insects and fruits. Wood Mice are primarily nocturnal and frequently carry objects such as twigs to use as landmarks during their nights foraging. They do not hibernate but can go into a torpor during severe weather in order to conserve energy.
