Meet Roach’s mouse-tailed dormouse: https://thehabitatfoundation.org/news

One of Europe’s rarest mammals comes to Topolovgrad on October 18. On that day, The Habitat Foundation will be at the Imperial Eagle festival and present Roach’s mouse-tailed dormouse. Topolovgrad lies in the heart of Sakar, the only region where a healthy population of this dormouse still lives.
