I'm almost caught up with my holes from when I was gone. Thanks to Andy, amfrumbiddivurdthink, these are Prairie Dogs. I shot them at the Salisbury zoo. I thought they were too cure to pass up.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
They look very much like a woodchuck to me - quite similar to those pesky guys that show up occasionally in my back yard leaving big holes! Like them much better here.
