Water Vole
The Water Vole is a medium-sized rodent known for its semi-aquatic lifestyle and sleek, streamlined body. It has dense fur, typically brown or gray, which helps keep it warm and dry in its watery habitat. Its body is adapted for swimming, with webbed hind feet and a long, slender tail that aids in propulsion. The Water Vole is primarily herbivorous, feeding on various aquatic plants, roots, and vegetation along the water's edge.
Basic Information
Ecology and Habitats
The Water Vole typically inhabits various aquatic habitats, including marshes, swamps, ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams. It seeks out sheltered locations along the water's edge, where it constructs burrows or tunnels in the banks for nesting and resting. These voles are well-adapted to semi-aquatic environments, spending much of their time in or near water, where they can find ample food and suitable habitat.
Additional Information
Domestication
The domestication of Water Voles is not practiced in Terra. These semi-aquatic rodents have limited direct utility for humans due to their primarily wild nature and specific habitat requirements. Additionally, their small size, elusive behavior, and preference for aquatic environments make them unsuitable candidates for domestication or use as pets.
Uses, Products & Exploitation
The Water Vole holds little direct utility for the people of Terra. Unlike other animals that may provide food, materials, or labor, Water Voles are not typically utilized by humans. They are not commonly hunted for food or fur; their small size and elusive nature make them unsuitable for domestication or use as pets.
