Description:

We studied the swimming capacity of the fossorial rodent Microtus (Terricola) duodecimcostatus (de Sélys-Longchamps, 1839), and found it to be a proficient swimmer in comparison with other fossorial species. We determined that main factor affecting swimming ability is the resistance of its hair to water absorption and its small body size. The hypothesis suggesting that insectivore moles are better swimmers than rodent mole is discussed.
