EDITORS COMMENTS
Look who's been hitting the acorn buffet a little too hard! This chubby dormouse is living its best life, defying gravity as it climbs up a yew tree branch in Wendover Woods. With its round belly and adorable face, this adult Glis glis could easily be mistaken for an alien creature from another planet. But fear not, it's just a delightful resident of the Chiltern Hills in Hertfordshire, England. In this September snapshot captured by photographer James Lowen, we witness nature at its quirkiest. The Fat Dormouse seems to have mastered the art of balancing on branches while enjoying some autumnal treats. Perhaps it's preparing for hibernation or simply indulging in a feast before winter arrives. This British woodland dweller has made quite an introduction to our hearts with its plump appearance and playful antics. It reminds us that even animals enjoy good food and know how to have fun! So next time you're strolling through the woods, keep your eyes peeled for these adorable creatures climbing trees like seasoned adventurers. And if you happen to spot one snacking away on some tasty morsels, remember to give them their space and appreciate their unique charm.
