This is my free coloring pages blog.
I have drawn nearly all these pictures.
Today's new drawing is of a Grass Fairy.
She is hanging out with her friend a vole.
Garmenia the Grass Fairy with Vole Friend
Garmenia is a Grass Fairy. She cares for the grass and the animals that live there. For example, she is friends with this vole. Garmenia is beautiful yet kind. Beauty without kindness is not attractive. But kindness alone makes one much more attractive. That is the way of it.
About voles: Voles are small rodents that are very mouse-like. However, they are not mice. They are more closely related to lemmings and muskrats. There are many species of vole like meadow vole, woodland vole, bank vole, and even American water vole. They are named for where they tend to live. They have comparatively large heads, compact bodies and short faces.
Voles are an opportunistic species because they can breed fast. Gestation is only 21 days. Depending on the species the vole can be under one ounce and up to 1.5 ounces. Many animals prey on voles. That is a good thing or we'd be overrun. Opportunistic species can breed so fast that without predators they would multiply uncontrollably. Some of the predators of voles are housecats, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, badgers, weasels, owls, hawks, and even gulls. Hawks and owls are probably the biggest or most common predators of voles.
