The Sagebrush Vole is a small, pale, short-tailed vole of the Great Basin and intermountain sagebrush steppes, one of the most arid-adapted voles in North America. Colonies build shallow burrow systems directly beneath sagebrush clumps and clip vegetation into runways that radiate outward. It gets most of its water from the succulent leaves of plants.
