Badlands Prairie Dog, South Dakota
Located in Prairie Dog Town in the Badlands National Park, South Dakota. This youngster stood there and listened to every word I said to him. Very understanding and allowed me to take his picture..LOL..
Have a Great Day

There are about 15,000 Black Tail Prairie Dogs at the Badlands, They have a very sophisticated vocal system for alerting each other about danger. They have a different sound for each kind of predator they are announcing, and I sure I could hear them talking about that Oregon tourist as we left..LOL..

  Neat shot and interesting information. While I miss your wide angle landscape today, this looks like something that might have been spotted in the details in one of them. Very nicely done.

  I suspect he's trying to decide whether to try taking a bit out of you or running for cover, Denny! Really cute critters!

  What a nice prairie dog you met, Denny! Both images are wonderful, and so are the titles! Last time I took pictures of those creatures, I had the same thoughts about what they were talking about. They were probably telling each other exactly where I was positioned, that the closest one should stay in his hole a little longer.

Does it mean the same thing
for a Prairie Dog to see their
shadow as it does when Puxatony Phil
sees his?? LOL!!!
