Description

I do not know how this kind of little critter is called in English. In French we called these lerots. This one was living by the house of a friend in Normandy. It was not frightened at all and kept in range when we tried to chase it away. This photo was taken with a 70-200mm lens. I cannot swear I did not use an extension tube as I was really close to the little fellow.

Very good work..I have not seen a lerot...looks like what I would call an oppossum..possum for short in the USA but color is different. Thanks for this good one.

I finally found its English name : Garden dormouse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliomys_quercinus Unseen on this photo is its quite typical tail : long and fluffy.
