Prairie Dog Poses

Now I love squirrels, I adore them actually, but I am finding prairie dogs are becoming a close second in my list of favorite rodents. These guys are so freaking cute that they melt my heart bigtime.

These fatties living at the Bergen Zoo are quite content. They had several dishes of veggies including carrots and lettuces, which they were gladly stuffing themselves on.
The prairie dog is a burrowing rodent that is native to the grasslands of North America. They are quite used to cold weather, and stay on display throughout winter at this zoo, unless the weather is extremely inclement.
