The Many Moods of the Prairie Dog

August 22, 2014  •  Leave a Comment

I love prairie dogs.  I think they are super cool.  I'm aware that these rodents are pests to some farmers out West and some people use these critters for target practice.  But for us folks that don't roam the prairies often, these rodents are great fun to watch and observe.  I prefer to fondly think of these common rodents as great teachers of how animal communities function and as a precious food source for the black-footed ferret. Without further adieu, please enjoy the many moods of the wonderful prairie dogs from the Badlands National Park.
