Field Vole

Field Vole

There are approximately 44 species of field voles. These small mouse-like rodents range in size from 3.5 to 4.5 inches. The tail of the field vole is quite short, approximately 1/3 the length of the entire body. The field vole is characterized by its blunt muzzle, small ears and small eyes. Field voles are frequently found in grasslands where they establish elaborate tunnels between the grasses, undetectable to the eye. MORE! [BM] {FW}
