Yet the site is also home to rare mammals such as water voles and rare plants such as pepper saxifrage. |
Mammalian carnivores such as weasels and foxes catch voles by chasing or pouncing and are probably just as dangerous in dense cover as in sparse. |
In the study, male meadow voles were paired with sexually receptive females in two cages. |
Foxes, rabbits, harvest mice, house mice, dormice, shrews, weasels, and voles all depend on the hedgerows as a place to breed, hunt or shelter. |
Some of these destructive species include beavers, muskrats, elk, deer, voles, marmots, prairie dogs and geese. |
Rats have quite large ears unlike voles, so Ratty is in fact a water vole not a rat. |
