Description ³

The field vole is a small, dark brown rodent with a short tail, distinguishable from the closely related common vole (Microtus arvalis) by its darker, longer and shaggier hair and by its more densely haired ears. The head and body length varies between 3.75 and 5.25 inches (95 and 133 mm) and the tail between 1 and 1.75 inches (25 and 44 mm). The weight is 0.7 to 1.8 ounces (20 to 51 g). The voice is a faint, low squeak and it also emits a range of chattering sounds.
