Prairie Dog PupsPosted by drfl on May 21st, 2009
Today’s image was captured at Ft. Niobrara Wildlife Refuge near Valentine. While driving through I soon realized that there were prairie dog pups all over and that they were playing outside their holes, but as soon as we got close they would scurry back down. I found a set that were particularly active and parked the car and waited for their antics. Two of them were interested in wrestling, but it almost looked like they were kissing instead, I think it was a stare-down of sorts.
