Under Dogs

Here at our blog we love all denizens of the Great American Grasslands, not the least of which are our P.D. neighbors (aka Prairie Dog). Here's an old, but still useful link from National Geographic.

National Geographic: Underdogs/Prairie Dogs at Home

Warning Cry - Wind Cave N.P.

It's a Prairie Dog World

The P.D. towns of Windcave National Park and Custer State Park are among the best wild and untampered ones you can find anywhere. Visitor's tip: Plan your visits earlier in the day and during the summer months to view them while most active. P.D's nap in their deep burrows during the hot summer afternoons and begin to cut back activity during September in preparation for hibernation which can last to April.
