| phylum | Chordata | The Bavarian pine vole(Microtus bavaricus) is a vole from the Austrian, Italian, and Bavarian Alpsof Europe. It lived in moist meadows at elevations of 600-1,000 metres. There are 23 museum specimens of this species. This rodent was previously known from only one location in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany, which has since been altered by the construction of a hospital in the 1980s. No specimens of this rodentwere recorded after 1962 and it was thought to be extinct. However, a population apparently belonging to this species was discovered in 2000 in Northern Tyrol, just across the German-Austrian border.
