OCR: "Voles have fuzzy coats and short tails. They live mainly in and feed upon grasses. They are scientifically distinguished by different grinding surfaces on their molars. Seven species of voles live in Alaska. The tundra vole is found in the park and is especially fond of dense grass or sedge habitats. Its body length is about five inches and its tail is less than two inches long. Its brownish-gray color is similar to the common meadow mouse. The northern red-backed vole lives in both the open tundra and the woods. Generally, it has a reddish back, but in a dark color phase, its back is blackish. Voles are fond of berries and their teeth become stained with blue during the blueberry season. They also feed on seeds, stems, and leaves.
