A Field Vole in Meadow Grass

A meadow vole stands among several blades of grass. Unlike a common mouse, this rodent has a rounded stocky body, small ears tucked into its coat, and a short tail.

Life of Voles in Grassland Habitats

Voles are industrious rodents that build intricate networks of shallow runways through dense grass fields. They clip grass stems at ground level to feed on seeds, roots, and tender green vegetation throughout the year.

Real-Life Colors of a Vole

  • Vole fur coat: warm chestnut brown or grayish-brown
  • Underside fur: pale gray or creamy buff
  • Small ears and snout: pinkish-gray
  • Short tail: brownish-gray
  • Blades of grass: bright green or yellowish-brown
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

How can you tell a vole apart from a mouse?
Voles have noticeably chunkier bodies, much shorter tails, smaller rounded ears hidden partly by fur, and blunter snouts compared to long-tailed mice.
What do field voles eat in open grassy areas?
Voles feed mainly on grass blades, roots, stems, seeds, and occasional fallen berries or bark from low bushes near their grassy paths.
How do voles protect themselves from predators?
Voles remain concealed under dense grass matting, moving through covered surface runways that shield them from owls, foxes, and hawks overhead.
