Water vole (Northern) - Arvicola amphibius Had some visitors from Teesvalley Wildlife trust at Uni today and they brought along this little guy. Water voles are sadly in large population decline thanks to habitat destruction and fragmentation. Conservation efforts are on going to save them! #watervole #teesvalleywildlifetrust #watervoles #ukwildlife #conservation #wildlife #nature #naturefacts #wildlifepopulation #wildlifeconservation #wildlifetrust #taxidermy https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWvpXAgyXs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x9b2ishqlahg

Oh there's some fools take a bath each day, By rollin' in the mornin' dew, An' others who won't wash at all, But that ain't me nor you. Othersome take dry dust baths, An' reckon that they're clean, But if a watervole you be, Well you know wot I mean. Hoho, yiss yiss, hoho! 

Don't sit'n'shiver beside the river, Dive right in with a splosh, Grab hold of a good ole soapwort root, An' give yoreself a wash. Scrub hard scrub soft scrub lively, mate, Good health you'll never lack, An' if yore paws can't reach around, A fish'll scrub yore back. Hoho, yiss yiss, ho hoooooo!
