  1. water vole

    A water vole is a small semi-aquatic rodent that is native to Europe, Asia, and parts of North America. It's scientifically known as Arvicola amphibious. It has a chunky body, small ears, a blunt nose, and a furry tail. They spend the majority of their time on the banks of slow moving rivers, ponds, or lakes. Water voles are often mistaken for rats, but they are distinguishable by their rounder noses, deeper brown fur, and smaller ears. They are known to be a vital part of their respective ecosystem but are considered to be one of the UK’s fastest declining mammals due to habitat loss, water pollution, and predation.
