Voles or
Moles?
A
vole is a small rodent resembling a mouse but with a stouter
body, a shorter, hairy tail, and smaller ears and eyes. Most vole
species have rootless molars that fold into a series of
triangles. Voles are one of the few rodents whose molars continue
to grow during their entire life.
Meadow
Vole
Voles
live in a variety of environments. The North American Meadow Vole
lives in networks of above-ground "runways" in grassy
areas, as well as underground burrows. California's Red Tree Vole
lives in the treetops.
The
average life of a vole is between 3–6 months. Voles rarely
live longer than 12 months. The longest lifespan of a vole ever
recorded was 18 months.
