A small, burrowing rodent similar to a mouse but with a shorter tail, found in grasslands and fields worldwide.
From Scandinavian languages, possibly from Old Norse 'völl' meaning 'field.' The short-tailed field rodent was named after its habitat.
Voles breed so fast and eat so much grass that periodic 'vole plagues' happen where millions swarm an area—one year grasslands might be fine, the next they're devastated by voles!
