Summary ¹

The red tree vole (Arborimus longicaudus) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found only in coastal forests of Oregon and northern California. They eat exclusively the needles of conifers, mostly Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and occasionally other species. They often spend their lives in just one tree, and many generations will live in different parts of the same tree.
