The Woodland Vole is a small rodent found primarily in North America. It typically inhabits grassy areas, meadows, and woodlands, where it creates burrows and tunnels. This species has a stocky body, short legs, and a short tail, making it well-adapted for life underground. Woodland voles are herbivorous, feeding mainly on grasses, seeds, and roots. They are known for their social behavior, often living in colonies. Their population can fluctuate based on environmental conditions and predation, and they play a vital role in their ecosystem by aerating the soil and serving as prey for various predators.
