Glis glis
Small animal (14-19cm long), has long tail, has big eyes, looks like a furry mouse, gray, squeeks quite loud
Likes to dwell in attics, can be found in forests, in mountainy area, are quite common in Slovenia (Dinaric Alps, Alps, submediteran ...)
They hibernate; can be found in Slovenian folklore as devils that dwell; they made "polhovka"'s out of these creatures (out of their furs)-this is a really warm cover for head; they still catch them here when it's a season; this "polh" (slovenian for edible dormouse) was found dead in the middle of road :(
