Found a weird rodent - ID request > General Discussion

My friend was out weeding his yard, looked up, and this thing scampered up to say hello:

Managed to get a pic, but the capture attempt was unsuccessful. They'll be on the lookout for "Joey" next time they're outside. I don't really know what I'm looking at. Half beaver/half hamster? ManBearPig? Possible dikfer? Central coast of CA is the AO in question.

You've been around here long enough to know that is to the point where it's dead and stinking. Do youself...in fact all of us to drop it.

My first thought was that it was a kangaroo rat but the hind feet are not long enough. After looking at some pics of voles on the 'net, I think those who said vole are right.

I think you guys are on the right path, vole seems like a good match.
