M1 motorway closes to let sleeping dormice lie

M1 motorway closes to let sleeping dormice lie. A 13-mile stretch of the M1 will close for 12 nights next week to avoid disturbing the habitats of endangered dormice, which are hibernating in vegetation next to the motorway.

Just love these kind of stories. Just love those mites.

They are adorable, and it's a sweet story.

They are indeed so sweet. I like the way the tail wraps around the side of their face.

I'm surprised that the locals in Northampton have not complained about the motorway shutting down.
