Birthday Cute dormice CC0713 Thorburn Card

Birthday card inspired by a painting by Scottish wildlife painter Archibald Thorburn (Dormice, 1903). The picture shows two cute dormice climbing on a tree branch. They are surrounded by long green grass and wild strawberry. Dormouse is a small rodent found in Europe, Asia and Africa. Dormice look like mice, but research has shown that they are more closely related to squirrels. They are largely arboreal, agile, and well adapted to climbing and living in trees. They are particularly known for their long winter sleep that can last up to 6-7 months. This trait is reflected in the sleepy behaviour of The Dormouse character in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Perhaps due to their cuteness, dormice have begun to enter the pet trade. A great birthday card for children who love cute animals and/or show a keen interest in learning about animals and the natural world.
