Can anyone help me identify this wild rodent I saw?
It had no tail (or just a tiny stub), ears and eyes were small and hidden in fur. So most likely a burrowing fella. Length was about 10cm/4in. Snout wasn't long, overall looked like an anaemic turd with legs. Spotted somewhere in northern Scandinavia, next to a lake.
The drawing might look like a hamster, but it wasn't and wild hamsters aren't a thing in the north as far as I know. Moles also don't seem to be as light colored or shaped as this fella was, according to many pictures I went through trying to identify it.
