This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 64%. (I'm a bot)

> PTES. The 1,000th captive-bred hazel dormouse has been released into the wild in a UK-wide reintroduction scheme for these threatened mammals.

> Big-eyed and famously sleepy, the dormouse is a woodland and fairy tale icon, but it is a species in decline.

> "It's a decline in woodland and hedgerow management. Dormice live in the shrub layer of woodland, and in many areas that layer has been stripped out, or the forest has been left to grow up and shade out the understory."

> The animals travelled in special dormouse nest boxes that were handmade by prisoners in HMP Doncaster and Humber - as part of a partnership between the PTES and the Department of Justice.

> PTES. "We should end up with a population of possibly 70 or 80 animals in three very closely connected woodlands.

> With the help of 200 extra carefully monitored dormouse nesting boxes installed in the woodland, as well as footprint tunnels placed along branches the rodents will use to move around the undergrowth, the team will be watching closely to see how well the animals settle into their new home.

The Hazel Dormouse will curl up into a ball and go into a state called torpor when there is a scarcity of food and the weather turns wet and cold. Torpor is a kind of short-term hibernation.

Hazel Dormice spend a large proportion of their lives sleeping - either hibernating in nests on the ground in winter, or in a state of torpor (curls up into a ball and sleep) in summer. They are also nocturnal on top of it all. You can also hear them snore. v.redd.it/4cus75hezxi51

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
