The water vole, also known as Arvicola terrestris, is a captivating creature found in captivity in the United Kingdom and Europe. With its adorable appearance and playful nature, it never fails to capture our hearts. In April, a water vole was spotted on a river bank in Derbyshire. Its sleek fur glistened under the sunlight as it scurried along the edge of the water. This little mammal seemed right at home in its natural habitat. During May, another species called Arvicola amphibius was seen feeding on an aquatic plant in Kent, UK. Its tiny paws delicately plucked each leaf with precision and grace. It was fascinating to witness these creatures thriving amidst their lush surroundings. As September rolled around, the same Arvicola amphibius could be observed once again near the edge of the water in Kent. The cool autumn breeze rustled through its fur as it nibbled on some grasses nearby. These resilient animals adapt effortlessly to changing seasons. Even during December's chillier days, this remarkable creature continued to feed at the edge of the water in Kent. Its determination to find sustenance showcased its unwavering spirit even when faced with adversity. One extraordinary moment captured a water vole standing on hind legs sniffing a blackberry bush in Kent. With curiosity gleaming from its eyes and whiskers twitching with excitement, it reminded us that even small creatures can possess great wonder for their surroundings. Looking back into history reveals illustrations such as muskrats from 1860 or colored engravings depicting rats and mice; they serve as reminders that these animals have long been part of our world's tapestry. Lastly, we cannot forget about badgers' winter stores visible everywhere.
