Description

I took this photograph of this prairie dog in Edmonton even though they can be found throughout the prairie regions of Canada.

According to Wikipedia, “Prairie dogs (genus Cynomys) are herbivorous burrowing rodents native to the grasslands of North America. The five species are: black-tailed, white-tailed, Gunnison's, Utah, and Mexican prairie dogs. They are a type of ground squirrel, found in North America.”

I remember that in one of my very first cross-country races as a teenager was at Omand's Creek and Park in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, I stepped into a gopher hole and twisted my ankle while running. I went over my ankle but I kept going and finished the race. I would have avoided the hole but there were so many runners around me and we were bunched up through a narrow pathway that I could not see it coming up all of a sudden. Live and learn.

They are cute despite creating big holes and tunnels in the ground which can be dangerous.

Thanks in advance for liking, commenting, sharing and purchasing. Check out my other images and collections. Thanks for all positive feedback.
