"So this is why you asked me to peek my head out of my hole !!!...To watch the humans watching us !!!""

Well that's what the black-tailed prairie dog in the hole seems to be saying to the standing lack-tailed prairie dog

These two cute animals are rodents of the family Sciuridae and can found in the Great Plains of North America and Twycross Zoo !!!

They do look like a miniature meerkat! How sweet but it must be hard to work out who is the enemy! It is for me and I"m not a prairie dog!
