About Prairie Dogs

Prairie dogs are highly social rodents that live in communal burrows that can cover up to 160 acres. Prairie dogs are social animals, and often make social visits with each other, and greet each other with a sort of kiss. There are five different subspecies of prairie dogs: black-tailed prairie dogs, white-tailed prairie dogs, Gunnison’s prairie dogs, Utah prairie dogs, and Mexican prairie dogs. They are usually just over a foot long, and weigh up to 3 pounds. They are generally found in North America, and northern parts of Central America. They eat all sorts of vegetables and fruits.
