Glis glis
Small mouse-like rodent, grey above and whitish below, with conspicuously large black eyes. From where I stood, it looked about 20-22cm in length, half of which is a squirrel like bushy tail.
A surprising face-to-face in an abandoned and rather isolated villa in Dubrovnik riviera, on the coastline itself and surrounded by dense Mediterranean woodland.
According to Wikipedia in English, this dormouse is better known as "Edible Dormouse" or "Fat Dormouse" - as I hate the food reference in names of animals, I've chosen to avoid it altogether.
