Back is shaded buff and is darker than belly. Skull shows no peculiarities;it is lightly ridged, with relatively large braincase. Mandible is shallower than in other species of Myodes. Molars do not differ essentially from pattern seen in the Bank Vole (M. glareolus), except for being rootless. Habitat. Rocky areas in forest steppe, subalpine, and alpine meadows and rocky tundra at elevations of 1500-3000 m. Habitat is humid and cold at night and in winter. From end of September to mid-May, Large-eared Voles typically live under 1-3 m of SNOW. Food and Feeding. The Large-eared Vole depends primarily on green plant material and, to a lesser extent, on seeds, fruits, and Cladonia cup lichens. ...
