Gansu Red-backed Vole

The Gansu red-backed vole, also called the Ganzu vole, Eva's red-backed vole or Taozhou vole, is found in mountain forests in China. It has a head and body length of 8.3–10cm and a moderate tail of 4.6–6cm. The dorsal fur is dark reddish-brown and the underparts dark grey, the guard hairs having buff tips. The tail is dark brown above and paler below, but not obviously bicoloured as in the closely related Kolan vole (Wikipedia, general species account).

It feeds on plant material including buds, leaves, shoots, grasses, seeds and bark (Wikipedia, general species account).
