Would that be
northern bog lemming or
southern bog lemming?
(In the vein of
Monty Python's air-speed velocity of an unladen [African or European] swallow—but sincerely curious nonetheless...
)
Guessing from habitat maps, the southern species/variety seems more likely, however there is some overlap.

It’s not about hunger though – my cats get two square [] meals a day plus treats, yet they still munch on that juicy grasshopper like it’s the best feline caviar on the planet, the stuff of every kitty’s dream. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear they eat their kill with even more gusto when I am watching, because they know how much it grosses me out. Yep, there is nothing quite like seeing your cat wolf down a fly and come running over for a kiss.
