Four vouchers are reported in the NPSpecies evidence counts and there are 2 records in the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database. Given their specialized habitat use (e.g., Klaus and Beauvais 2004, Clark and Stromberg 1987), water voles likely have a restrticted distribution in GTNP.; Data Source: Doug Keinath - Lead Zoologist - Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
