The logo: two in one

The logo GhiroKu is composed by two presences, the first one is the letter G of the word Ghiro "Dormouse", the second is the silhouette of the Dormouse seen from behind, a marriage between the small animal and the letter.

What is a Ghiro ? "Dormouse"

The Dormouse is the biggest animal of the representatives of the myoxuses glis is long around 30 cms, of which 13 of tail. It possesses a fur of grey or chestnut color on the back and white-yellow on the abdomen. The superior jaw is endowed with a onlya pair of incisive and in total it is endowed with twenty teeth. The maximum duration of the life in nature is around the six years, and the enemies of the dormouse are above all the night birds of prey, the faines and the martens.

It is very agile, but it doesn't move him as the squirrels jumping of branch in branch. The name has been attributed him in how much in particularly rigid years it stays in lethargy in its den for seven months around.

It live preferably in the bright woods of broad-leaved but he can also be found in the woods of conifers. Because of the diminution of his vital spaces, is also spread in the orchards and in the vineyards and at times it also attends the urban zones, as they make it other animals that have gotten used to our urban world, from which is born the idea "GhiroKu" Dormouse King urban "Dormouse the urban King".

It is present anywhere in center-southern Europe but not in the Iberian peninsula and in oriental Europe. In Italy and in Switzerland it is diffused anywhere, in few words the dormouse is Made in Europe.
