	warning, dead thing This was found by my neighbors house and I have no idea what it is. Looks too big to be a mouse, too small to be a rat and the face looks like a hamster... What is it? D: I seriously go crazy when I find an animal and I can't figure out what it is

	As a zoologist, I'm 99% certain it's a vole. smile Moles and voles have distinctly different dentition compared to the rodent-like dentition this vole has, since they are classified in Order Soricomorpha (previously Insectivora) instead of Rodentia, as voles are.
