The Tuva Mountain Vole is a vole recorded in separated parts of southern Siberia and Mongolia. Grayish coat colors are reported, and a laboratory study recorded an individual living for more than four years.
A comparative table of earlier descriptions reports a dull gray back, sometimes with brown tones, a pale gray underside, and a tail that is often bicolored.
Range research discusses records from rocky low mountains and steppe habitats. A separate study recorded a maximum observed lifespan of four years and three months for an animal born in captivity.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
