"The sight of a sleepy little dormouse curled up into a tight ball of golden 毛皮 may sadly become a thing of the past. The common 或者 hazel dormouse... is in decline and rapidly becoming endangered.

"According to a survey last 年 [by]... The People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES), the number of dormice in the UK has fallen 由 39% since 1992, making it vulnerable to extinction.

"One complicating factor is that because dormice are small and rare it's very hard to count them. Typically they live in shrubs and trees, and are nocturnal. This, combined with a rise in modern building developments means that many woodlands and hedgerows that once provided homes for dormice have been destroyed.

"The PTES, along with Natural England, have been working hard to protect our dormouse population and their habitat - but they need help identifying where the dormice area... This is where 你 can help: they need [UK] volunteers to track down the dormice, 由 looking out for certain tell-tale signs...

"Dormice 爱情 eating hazel nuts fresh on the 树 while they're still green and relatively soft to nibble. Once discarded, the shells turn brown and fall to the ground. 由 searching for the shells it's possible to find out where the dormice live.

"If you'd like to 加入 the PTES Great Nut Hunt, all you'll need is a magnifying glass... The best time to carry out a local survey is in autumn and winter, as the discarded nutshells are easiest to find. Once you've found a pile, use the Great Nut Hunt ID pack to work out which animal has gnawed them. If 你 can find some likely nutshells, 你 can seen them to the charity's 'Chief Nutter' to check them for you...

"To download a Great Nut Hunt survey pack visit www.greatnuthunt.org.uk...

"If you're unable to go nut hunting 你 can still help 由 adopting a dormouse. 你 can find details of how to do this [by visiting]... www.wildlifetrusts.org ."

"Biology student Rob Gilson found a critter so rare it hadn't been seen in Mecklenburg County [USA] since 1968.

"A palm-sized oldfield 老鼠, 鼠标 succumbed to Gilson's lure of sunflower seeds and was trapped at Cowan's Ford Wildlife Refuge on Feb. 20.

"North Carolina marks the northern edge of the mouse's range. It has been documented in the state only three times, and North Carolina lists it as a species of special concern.

"'It's almost like the ivory-billed woodpecker for our region', 说 Lenny Lampel, a Mecklenburg...
