Everything about The Wood Mouse totally explained
The
wood mouse (
Apodemus sylvaticus), also called the
long-tailed field mouse, is a common
rodent that was recognised as a distinct species in
1894. It is closely related to the
yellow-necked mouse (
Apodemus flavicollis) but differs in that it has no band of yellow fur around the
neck, has slightly smaller ears, and is usually slightly smaller overall: around 90mm in length. If a wood mouse is caught by its tail, it can quickly shed the end of it, which may never regrow. The wood mouse doesn't
hibernate and, despite its name, it prefers
hedgerows to
woodland. It is found across most of Europe, extending north into southern
Scandinavia and the
British Isles.
Habitat
Almost entirely
nocturnal, wood mice burrow extensively, digging a series of chambers and runs. Their usual habitat is
woodlands,
fields and
hedgerows, although they're also found in open grassland.
