Gelbhalsmaus in einem unterirdischen Bau. Jungtiere (darunter auch eine weiße Maus), die sich außerhalb befinden, greift sie mit den Zähnen am Fell, trägt sie nacheinander zum Höhleneingang und steckt sie hinein. Im Bau nimmt sie die Jungen wieder auf und schleift sie in die Nestmulde.

The film shows a Yellow-necked Field Mouse smoothing the soil in its subterranean nest. It carries a leaf into the nest and has a young suckled. Not only the young of its own but also a white mouse lying outside of the subterranean hole are carried into the nest. The female grasps the small animals with her teeth at the skin of their belly, back or their flank, carriest them one after the other to the entrance of the hole and puts them into it. In the subterranean passage the mother takes up the young which kept motionless with their extremities and tail fixed to their body ("Tragstarre"). She carries or drags them to the stuffed nesting cave.
