Prairie dogs are chiefly herbivorous, though they eat some insects. Succulent parts of herbs and grasses, leaves, and new shrub growth are eaten in the spring.

Where Do Prairie Dogs Live
Prairie dogs out of their holes watching potential predators. Many species, like black-footed ferrets, use their burrows as homes. Prairie dogs even help aerate and fertilize the soil, allowing a greater diversity of plants to thrive.
Prairie dogs are intelligent animals with complex communication. They have a range of different barks and chirps for communicating different messages.
