Smoky Mountain Vole

The smoky mountain vole is a dark-coated, compact vole of the Tibetan Plateau and adjoining Himalayan regions. It has a blunt muzzle, small ears and a short tail, with dense fur suited to cold high-elevation environments. Species accounts associate it with alpine meadow and other high mountain grasslands, but detailed species-level information on food, reproduction and measurements remains sparse.
