The European garden dormouse is marked by a dark mask and a black-and-white tail tip. In Spain, it occurs across the Iberian Peninsula, but its distribution is uneven.
It has a long snout and large ears. A dark mask and a black-and-white tuft at the tail tip are useful identifying features.
The Spanish account describes activity at twilight and during the day; hibernation and summer dormancy depend on location.
