How are water voles adapted to a river?

Water voles are well adapted to river environments through their semi-aquatic lifestyle. They possess webbed feet that aid in swimming and a streamlined body that allows for efficient movement in water. Additionally, their dense fur provides insulation and waterproofing, while their diet consists mainly of aquatic plants, enabling them to thrive in riparian habitats. Their burrows are often located near riverbanks, providing easy access to both food and escape routes from predators.
