Meadow Vole (Minus Head) - Microtus pennsylvanicus This is such a cute species; but, unfortunately, this individual had lost its head. A moment before taking this photo, I had caught a domestic cat chomping on this vole. I&#039;m guessing it took off the head. <br /> <br /> Habitat: Meadow/mixed forest edge with dense, low vegetation.
