Photography: The fascinating secret lives of harvest mice as captured by Klein/Hubert

EDITOR’S NOTE: This post was part of our It’s Mice That takeover on April Fools’ Day 2014. You can read our explanation post here or peruse the mice archive here.

Wildlife photographer is up there on my list of dream jobs, and Jean-Louis Klein and Marie-Luce Hubert are an excellent example of why. A creative duo from Alsace in France, they travel the world capturing those rarely spotted moments with some of the most incredible animals that Earth has to offer.

In the mix alongside elephants, seals, penguins, eagles and a vast array of others is this fantastic series about the secret lives of harvest mice. Jean-Louis and Marie-Luce shot creatures that had been released from captivity back into the wild, allowing them to snap images of mother mice with their tiny babies, daredevil mice clambering up ears of corn like tight-rope walkers and even whole families curled up in their nests. Impossibly cute, and absolutely fascinating.
