Prairie Dogs
Prairie Dogs are named for their habitat and warning call, which sounds similar to a dog's bark. The name was in use at least as early as 1774. The 1804 journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition note that in September 1804, they "discovered a Village of an animal the French Call the Prairie Dog." Its genus, Cynomys, derives from the Greek for "dog mouse". Thank You for Making this Daily Photo the #2 Pick on 05/02/2013 Link to Photo Without Frame
