Daily prairie dog fun fact:
In early 1900s, the largest prairie dog town ever recorded was discovered in Texas. According to explorer and naturalist Vernon Bailey it stretched for 250 miles north from San Angelo to Clarendon, and was 100 wide. It was home to approximately 400 million of black tailed prairie dogs, which is as much as the population of China at that time. Boy do they breed, huh?
Mexican Prairie Dog Cynomys mexicanus
A burrowing rodent found in central Mexico. It is classified as a keystone species due to its large impact on other species and the environment. Treatment as an agricultural pest has led to its status as an endangered species. Mexican prairie dogs live in excavated colonies, referred to as "towns", which they dig for shelter and protection. A typical town has a funnel-like entrance that slants down into a corridor up to 100 ft (30 m) long, with side chambers for storage and nesting.
