Prairie dog gathering leaves and storing them

Uploaded: April 16, 2024 06:45:53 | Entered: April 16, 2024 06:45:53

Description

Prairie dogs serve their ecosystems by sharing their burrows with various other organisms. Snakes, owls, camel spiders, insects, rabbits, and even their own predators like black-footed ferrets can all be found living in prairie dog burrows. These burrows also promote water flow underground, which can benefit other animals and even humans living in dry areas. The act of digging burrows is environmentally beneficial because it stimulates the soil and encourages plant growth.
