<b>Black-tailed Prairie Dog</b>
The <b>Black-tailed Prairie Dog</b> is a very common critter of the Great Plains of North America. Originating from Southern Saskatchewan it spread over the whole of the U.S. down to Mexico. In Europe, Black-tailed Prairie Dogs are a beloved zoo and wildlife park animal. They are rather easy to care for and are able to deal with harsh winters just as well as with very hot summer days. They also seem to not be stressed out by visitors as long as they have underground burrows available to them to raise their young, hide from danger and cool down.
