[[File:Helendav lagrits.jpg|thumb|The luminescence of a hibernating garden dormouse photographed from the dorsal and ventral sides. The images were taken under visible light, UV light and UV light with a yellow filter which removes residual light in blue wavelengths. In normal light conditions, the dormouse has brown fur with a white underside but displays bright pink fluorescence under UV light that looks reddish under UV light through a yellow filter. The dormouse's skin, nose and feet show a greenish-blue and its tail only green fluorescence.]]
