The Prairie

This profile is on the black-tailed prairie dog. It will be introducing their background, life cycle, structure and function, evolution and an additional interest. It will also be going over their unique social structure and the way they form communities called prairie towns, which are a large system of burrows. The importance of burrows, in particular, to the black-tailed prairie dog cannot be overstated. Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs The black-tailed prairie dog’s scientific name is Cynomys ludovicianus

Coyote, Skunk, and the Prairie Dogs While I find it rather creative to imagine a skunk and a coyote to conspire together to murder prairie dogs and rabbits, and although I feel I am doing a disservice to hundreds of years of Navaho storytellers, I am going to attempt to creatively edit parts of the story “Coyote, Skunk, and Prairie Dogs” as a written works, and retool it so that it makes more sense as a modern children’s fairy tale. Not that children would be interested in a story about killing

The Blackland Prairie is a very diverse ecoregion, despite its diminutive size. There are many unique types of animals in the Blackland Prairie; here are a few examples of animals in the Blackland Prairie. One example of one of these animals is the nine-banded armadillo. The nine-banded armadillo is a large, short and brown armadillo with a long tail and nine lines on its shell (therefore its name). They typically eat grubs, insects, berries, and eggs. This scaly critter lives in most of Texas besides

The Black Tailed Prairie Dog is common to the Great Plains, all the way from Canada to the northern parts of Mexico. The loss of prairie throughout the years has led to a loss in numbers, but they still are around in the Great Plains. The prairie dog lives in areas with short grassland, and they burrow into holes. They dig the holes themselves and leave a big pile of dirt that surrounds their hole. The pile of dirt protects the hole from flooding, and helps them keep a lookout for predators. Their

article describes the black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys Ludovocianus) and their coteries (polygynous social groups). In these groups, the one adult male reproducing genetically similar females. The main purpose that the author (John L. Hoogland) tries to convey and support his earlier work on prairie dogs. In this summary, there is several references to his earlier work, called Analysis of the Mating System in the Black-Tailed Prairie Dog (AMSBTPD). These prairie dogs exist where some females and

This article describes the black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys Ludovocianus) and their coteries. Coteries are polygynous social groups that black-tailed prairie dogs live in (Hoogland 1983). In these groups, the one adult male reproduces with genetically similar females. The main purpose of this article is for the author (John L. Hoogland) to communicate and defend his earlier work on prairie dogs. These prairie dogs exist where some females and pups, within the coteries, do not breed (Hoogland 1983)

Burrowing owls often live in occupied prairie dog colonies. Researchers have proposed several theories regarding why this occurs. One reason may be that owls avoid predation because they share many of the same predators with black-tailed prairie dogs and the presence of the prairie dogs helps to reduce predation. Another theory is that the burrowing owls live in active prairie dog colonies in order to listen to the prairie dogs for cues on when a predator is near. This behavior has been documented
