It’s Wednesday, so hang in there like the bank vole (Myodes glareolus)! Though it resembles a mouse, this species is distinguished by a shorter tail and stockier build. Mostly herbivorous, it’s a proficient climber that uses acrobatic skill to reach seeds and fruits. Its diet also includes moss, fungi, and nuts. Weighing up to 1.27 oz (36 g), this diminutive critter can be found across much of Europe as well as parts of Asia.

The other night I saw something on the livestream from the corner of my eye but then could not find the clip, but it was finally captured! On the right you see a vole that is living under the bath, coming in for a drink. This is edited and I slowed him down in between. Such a hilarious creature! (It may be a mole possibly, we do have both and I kind of assumed this was a vole because I am not seeing the typical mole "hands". The snout is quite pointy though.)

You ever have that moment when you're walking by some brush or shrubs and you have to calm your inner animal because you heard something that would make a nice snack rustling inside of it? Bonus points if you haven't eaten all day.
