Hi Thorsten,
We saw mice there, too, on the following day, but did not manage to get any photos! It is Egyptian Spiny Mouse (Acomus cahirinus dimidiatus). It has typically the fine, spine-like hairs on the back, very large ears and a long, scaly tail. The little white spot below the eye is also diagnostic, because the ssp. homericus, Southern Spiny Mouse lacks it. The Egyptian Spiny Mouse ranges in the east from southern Iran, in west to southern Algeria and Niger, in south to Tanzania and in North to Israel and Jordania. It can be found in Cyprus, too.

Hi Thor

A very cute capture!
The looks very good here in your photo - with excellent details and natural colors.
I guess he was one of the guardians of the fortress :))
Great POV and excellent contrast here - especially between his pitch black eye and pretty much everything else :)

Cheers and TFS

Hello Thorsten!
Small mammals are not very often presented on TN so at first: bravo for showing something new :) Another "plus" is the object, very cute and nice species, here well presented. I like natural POV and details. Also colours are nice for the "eye" :)
Best greetings from Poland,
Radomir

Hallo Thorsten,
schön mal wieder was von Dir zu sehen! Wie ich sehe (auch in TN und TL) hattest Du Urlaub. - Bei diesem schönen Foto läuft meinen Katzen das Wasser ím Maul zusammen. Tolles Foto von diesem possierlichem Tierchen. Ich glaube das Mäuschen war von Dir überrascht, daß es so ruhig hocken blieb. Ich hatte so etwas schon mal bei einer Spitzmaus erlebt - sein eine Art Schockstarre. Als ich die Maus anfassen wollte wurde sie sehr agil und wollte mich beißen. ;-)
Danke für dieses schöne Foto.
Gruß
Heinz

Hi Thorsten

I like this cute little mouse, but only because it is on my monitor and not scuttling across my floor! Well composed with good details. :-)
