                                  WOOD MOUSE Apodemus sylvaticus

                                      HOUSE MOUSE Mus musculus

                                   BANK VOLE Clethrionomys glareolus

• Three common species of rodent are shown. Most mammals are predominantly nocturnal (as betrayed by their large eyes and ears) although the Bank Vole is often visible during the day. Contrary to popular belief, House Mice are perfectly happy living out of doors - however, given the soft option of warmth and a ready supply of food it is easy to understand the predominantly commensal nature of this hugely successful species.
