Unexpected visit
But the snow cannot keep out all predators! The ermine is small enough to chase vole beneath the snow, as is the weasel.
Ears in the dark
The vole goes above snow in the night, through little openings, near tufts of grass – risky!! Hungry predators wait even then. The Tengalm's owl, which can locate prey by hearing in the dark, easily catches a bank vole (in the showcase to the right).
