Tundra vole
The tundra vole or root vole is a medium-sized vole found in Northern and Central Europe, Asia, and northwestern North America, including Alaska and northwestern Canada. In the western part of the Netherlands, the tundra vole is a relict from the ice age and has developed to the subspecies Microtus oeconomus arenicola. It has short ears and a short tail. Its fur is yellowish brown with paler sides and white underparts. They are about 18 cm long with a 4 cm tail and weigh about 50 grams. This species is found in damp tundra or moist meadows, usually near water. It makes runways through the surface growth in warm weather and tunnels through the snow in winter. It feeds on grasses, sedges and seeds. Female voles have three to six litters of three to 9 young in a shallow burrow. The vole population in a given area can vary greatly from year to year. It is active year-round. It also digs underground burrows where it stores seeds and roots, especially licorice root, for the winter. The species epithet oeconomus refers to this "economical" behaviour.
