Arizona black-tailed prairie dog

the_tajminator,

I suspect the good folks at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum treat him to an excellent, well-balanced diet. http://www.desertmuseum.org/

This is one of the best outdoor museums I've attended. I am fortunate to be a member and visit frequently. The volunteer docents and entire staff are wonderful people and the organization provides and uniquely wonderful experience for visitors.

I appreciate your comments!

Regards,
Emily

All prairie dogs were extirpated from Southern Arizona. There is an effort to reestablish a colony in SE Arizona grassland, which is their habitat. Nice photo!

wow he's so cute and fat

What a cool picture!
