[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Prairie dogs are small, stout-bodied, burrowing rodents with shallow cheek pouches native to the grasslands of North America.

An average prairie dog's size is 12 to 16 inches (30 to 40 cm) long. In the United States, prairie dogs are primarily found west of the Mississippi River, but they have been introduced into a few eastern locales.

Prairie dogs are highly social animals which live in large towns formed by single families of one male and 2 to 4 females. They have up to 4 pups, one time a year, which are born blind and without fur and need about 30 days of close nurturing by their mother. Recent research indicates that prairie dogs have relatively sophisticated vocal communication abilities, including many of the characteristics of language.

Hello Leisa, Great photo, perfect detail, BG, POV, DOF, Perfect TFSA Kyle

Hi Leisa,
Great shot on this Prairie Dog. Spot on exposure. Colors and detail are just excellent. These guys make great subjects to shoot photos of them. I posted a shot of a pair of them a while back. I love to watch them. Nice work here!

Very comical snapshot of this cute fuzzy prarie dog. The POV couldn't be any better. I just want to pull him out from the screen and give him a noogie on the nogin. :)

Vraiment superbe prise... arriver à prendre ce chien de prairie ainsi de face... Combien de temps as-tu du patienter pour arriver à l'avoir ainsi?!!! J'ai le même appareil photo, mais je n'aurais jamais cru pouvoir obtenir un tel résultat! félicitation!
Qui plus est, la composition de la photo est impeccable avec l'animal formant comme une pyramide!!!
Magnifique...
