Moving toward the recovery of the Amargosa Vole

In the hottest and driest parts of the Mojave Desert lives the endangered Amargosa vole, a small mouse-like rodent with short ears and a short tail. This rare species only lives in small patches of habitat, about 75 acres spread across 55 patches of bulrush marsh along the Amargosa River near Tecopa, California. Near Tecopa, the Amargosa River rises above ground and creates a green oasis for the vole and other rare plants and animals found nowhere else on earth. The Amargosa vole was thought to be extinct in the early 1900s but was rediscovered in the late 1970s.
