The diminutive harvest mouse is the smallest rodent in Europe, weighing up to just 6g. It is easily identified, with its blunt nose, short, rounded hairy ears and golden-brown fur. Juveniles are grey brown in colour. This species is the only British animal to posses a prehensile tail, which is used as a fifth limb; this characteristic is a sure-fire way of identifying a harvest mouse.
