Both photographers Jean-Louis Klein and Marie-Luce Hubert both came from Alsace, France and spent the year just watching and taking these photos, a project that ended the 20-year photoshoot of nature's return. they.

Sitting patiently in grasslands and reeds, they can take this fascinating set of photos without fear of disturbing the mice. The set of photos is quite complete with the daily schedule of 30 rats, such as winning food, building a nest, balancing when climbing, even a mother's mouse feeding her baby.

Jean-Louis said: " All the mice in the set have lived in the cage and are released naturally for shooting. We have chosen the appropriate habitat so they can survive ."

' We also want to note the action of a mother's mouse during pregnancy, but it is difficult to do so without disturbing the mother's mouse. Wild mother mice can abandon their babies, so we took pictures of them in the studio first until the young mice have matured and can be released naturally. At that time, there was no need to go hide, just find a good place in the field and lie down and wait "- Jean-Louis added.

The incredible patience of Jean-Louis and Marie-Luce has been compensated with the rare moments people see when the mouse " swings " from the tail of its three siblings and makes trips adventure.

" That's when the young mice became independent and went out to play - Jean-Louis said - Like monkeys, hamsters can use their tails as a fifth leg to keep balance when climbing. between grass stems without using both hands ".
