Lawsuit Aims to Help Amargosa Voles
The Center just sued the Bureau of Land Management to protect highly imperiled Amargosa voles from unmanaged human activity in their protected critical habitat. Off-road vehicles, unattended campfires, and people using the marshy lands for toilet functions have severely degraded the mouselike animals’ tiny remaining range — near a popular hot spring outside Tecopa, California.

A little vole thinking of taking calculated risks and considering the potential rewards of venturing out. All in that little head.

Know Your Voles
Burrowing fuzz-bearing critters may seem creepy, but did you know voles are an important part of the ecosystem? Yes, even if they dig up a few of your tubers every spring! Here''s some fun facts about our tiny roommates!
Every garden cittervole eats thousands of insects and arachnids per moon, including mites and tuber-beetles that are dangerous pests!
Most Voles don't lay eggs, and instead give live birth! This does not mean they are closely related to snakes, however. That's just an old wives' tale!
Voles are social creatures that raise their young, just like we do! Vole mothers even feed their young with a special sweat they produce from patches on the belly
Voles are not downy! The fuzzy covering that keeps them warm is called 'fur' and, while structurally similar to down, it is a more primitive and less differentiated structure.
Vole jaws can move side-to-side, an ability they use to "chew" through solid wood to make burrows in tree stumps or, yes, your house. Some voles can even bite through metal given sufficient time and inclination.
Despite this, you can keep voles out of your home with a spritz of diluted longberry oil. Voles are sensitive to the flavor-compound capsaicin and avoid it.
For more information about voles and how to handle them ethically, contact your local office of Civilian Logistics, Administration and Welfare for our informative pamphlet packed with scientific facts, handy tips and tricks, recipes, and a field identification guide.
