Prairie Dog

Prairie Dog


After visiting the "Museo de las Aves" , I went to the "Museo del desierto" (desert museum) in Saltillo, a very interesting place.

Once you finish seeing the museum part, there is a small area wth a few local animals.

Among those a place with a group of Prairie Dogs.

They are called like that, ince they do a sound like a little dog barking.

This friend on the photo is in watching time. The prairie dogs always are in groups, while some of them eat, the other are watching on their feet, trying to spot any animal that eats them either on earth or air, and to be ready to warn the group so everyone hides underground.

They look so cute, even beings rodents, same family of the rats.
