Meadow and pine vole

Article Abstract:

Meadow voles have gray to yellow-brown fur with black-tipped hairs and bicolor tail, which are five and half to seven and half inches long and pine voles are subterranean rodents that create extensive networks of underground tunnels. The damage caused by meadow voles tends to be above the soil line, while pipe voles feed underground.
