Clethrionomys gapperi (southern red-backed vole)

Language: French

Wikipedia Abstract

The Southern Red-backed Vole or Gapper's Red-backed Vole (Myodes gapperi) is a small slender vole found in Canada and the northern United States. It is closely related to the Western Red-backed Vole (Myodes californius), which lives to the south and west of its range and which is less red with a less sharply bicolored tail. These voles have short slender bodies with a reddish band along the back and a short tail. The sides of the body and head are grey and the underparts are paler.
