"Prairie dogs live in the grasslands of North America, where they’re a keystone species. Despite their name, they aren’t really dogs, but a kind of ground squirrel."

Walked thru a new (to me) prairie dog colony this morning in Cherry Creek State Park. Love listening to their chirps & barks & watching them interact. #prairiedogs

The current whitehouse thinks the prairiedogs, squirrels, rattlesnakes and cockroaches vote Republican. We keep trying to tell them only human citizens vote but they apparently only speak nonsense rather than any other language spoken in the US.

Just had the best time visiting my friends, the Prairie Dogs, at 82nd and Milwaukee! 🐾 Tried to hand-feed them, but they weren't having it. Still managed to get a great shot! 📸 Stay tuned for the little video to follow! #PrairieDogs #WildlifePhotography #NatureLovers

There was a time in the SD #BaldlandsNP when a group of us were enjoying the prairiedog town when a bull bison calmly walked up to us use the parking barrier pole as a scratching post! We were paying more attention to the prairiedogs and didn't notice the bison until it was nearly among us!

Upon landing in Denver, we had some time to kill before check in

With nothing better to do, we head out for an unsuccessful search for bison - where we instead found a field, swarming with black-tailed prairie dogs

That said, if you find them in a national park, they may have been vaccinated against the plague, but you still don't want to be bitten.
This video was taken at the Minnesota Zoo.

#PrairieDogs aren’t the culprit but they’re getting the blame so #WildlifeServices the secretive govt killing machine hiding in the bowels of the #USDA can slaughter even more of them.

Plague deaths still happen in the Southwest so this isn’t unusual in itself but pneumonic plague is extremely rare and I’m reminded that the CDC infectious disease investigators and outbreak monitors have been fired/eliminated
Arizona patient dies in emergency room from plague
The patient was recently treated at an emergency department in Flagstaff and died the same day, Northern Arizona Healthcare said.
