The cricetidae family.

The Orkney vole.

Found only on the Orkney islands in Scotland and channel islands of Guernsey, the deep brown Orkney vole is very like the field vole in habits and looks, but is heavier. It weighs about half an ounce more than the field vole with about a four and a half inch head and body with a two inch tail.
