Prairie Dog
We were making our way through the midwest on a very cold morning when I saw an animal that looked like a dog, but seemed to be much smaller. As I tried to near it to get a better look it barked continuously until I was out of sight. I noticed that when the animals felt alarmed the whole village quickly steps into their holes. As well as noticing that I also noticed that they make a call when there is a predator near, and once that predator is gone they give out a second call. The small little animals live in burrows underground. They live in large communities,of what seemed to be hundreds. Their burrows are mostly in shortgrass areas. Their diet seemed to consist of grass, roots, and seeds. As I sat and continued to watch them
