Przewalski's Steppe Lemming

Przewalski's steppe lemming has a head-and-body length of 12.5–13.0 centimetres and a tail of only 11–15 millimetres, with hind feet of 19–22 millimetres and ears of about 7 millimetres. The back fur is pale sandy-brown, and the flanks are sand-yellow and merge into the white underside, which may show single grey hairs in some places on the throat and abdomen. The upper sides of the feet and the hair on the soles are white. (German Wikipedia, general species account)

The thumb of the forefeet bears a large blunt claw, and the short tail is sandy above and white below. This vole occurs in northern China and Mongolia. It is named after the Russian officer and explorer Nikolai Przhevalsky. (German Wikipedia, general species account)
