Montane Water Vole

The montane water vole (Arvicola scherman) is a fossorial species of vole found throughout Central and Western Europe, northern Spain, and central Romania, particularly in high-altitude mountain regions such as the Alps, Pyrenees, and Carpathians. Arvicola scherman was initially regarded as a subspecies of Arvicola terrestris but was later redesignated as a species by Panteleyev in 2000. Unlike its close relative, the European water vole (Arvicola amphibius), which is semi-aquatic, the montane water vole has adapted to a burrowing lifestyle in mountainous environments.

Arvicola scherman, le Campagnol fouisseur, est une espèce de rongeurs de la famille des Cricétidés. On rencontre ce campagnol dans les régions montagneuses d'Europe du sud ou centrale. Dans les Alpes françaises, il est possible de croiser ce petit animal terrestre jusqu'à 2 400 m d'altitude.
