Orkney vole  (Microtus arvalis orcadensis)

Description

The Orkney vole is an endemic subspecies of the common vole (Microtus arvalis), which is found only in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. It is larger than the common vole, and is similar in appearance to the field vole (Microtus agrestris), but has shorter paler fur (2). Like all voles it has a stocky body with a blunt, rounded snout.
