First of all, these are just random pics I gathered from the 'Net. Please let me know if any particular photog-creator needs to be cited / edited in.

Evidently there are two species of Harvest Mice, and far as I know, this is a mix of both. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_mous


From what I understand, these little cuties are typically so successful because of their teeny-tiny weight, which is not enough to be a problem for these types of flowers.


Indeed, their lightweight is typically perfect for thriving amongst such flowers.


And OF COURSE, they can certainly strike a pose. :D


Even two (or sometimes more) are possible!


Still... one must also eat. One must eat!


Or just take a little nap...


Some of these photos are credit to Dean Mason, so all good things to that excellent photog. See here: https://www.boredpanda.com/cute-harvest-mouses-dean-mason-photography/

For those who can't see the pics (maybe in the UK), put this Imgur link through an archive / backup:
