Its back is uniformly brown, its underside pale yellow-brown, and its muzzle tip slightly darker. It occurs in central Argentina and burrows in sandy soil; researchers also studied its mounds in irrigated alfalfa fields in La Pampa.
Its back is uniformly brown, its underside is pale yellow-brown, and its muzzle is slightly darker than the rest of the body.
It digs burrows in sandy soils in low, open woodland and on hills with vegetation adapted to sandy ground. In irrigated alfalfa plots in La Pampa, it leaves soil mounds at the surface; both total and active mound counts were positively associated with the age and height of the alfalfa stand.
