Townsend's Vole is one of the largest voles in North America, and it is also very abundant where it occurs, making the species highly significant to a multitude of predators, including herons, owls, and other birds of prey; and raccoons, skunks, weasels, mink, coyotes, bobcats, and red and gray foxes. Snakes, too, feed on these Voles.
