David Li's Cozy Corner

Just a quiet little site about small animals.

๐ŸนHamsters

Family: Cricetinae

Small, round, and famously good at stuffing food into their cheek pouches. A hamster can carry up to half its body weight in seeds that way. Mostly nocturnal, they are the quiet roommates of the rodent world.

๐Ÿฆ”Hedgehogs

Family: Erinaceidae

Covered in thousands of spines but surprisingly gentle. Hedgehogs have poor eyesight and rely on smell and hearing, curling into a ball when nervous. In the wild they are tireless insect hunters, eating up to a third of their weight in a single night.

๐Ÿฟ๏ธSquirrels

Family: Sciuridae

Acrobats of the treetops, known for burying hundreds of nuts each autumn - and forgetting a good portion of them. Those forgotten caches quietly become new trees, making squirrels accidental foresters.

๐Ÿ‡Rabbits

Family: Leporidae

Rabbits' teeth never stop growing, which is why they constantly chew. Their famous ears also serve as radiators, helping them stay cool in the heat. A rabbit can see almost 360 degrees around itself without turning its head.
