Prairie Dog Chatter | Lakota Times

Everyone loves listening to our Prairie Dogs chirping to each other, but did you know that they have one of the most complex animal languages ever decoded by humans? With over 200 "words", their chirps and barks not only identify species, but also size and color: big coyote, brown hawk, or even small human with a yellow shirt. So, the next time you visit our Prairie Dog Town and hear them chirping, you're not being paranoid or self-conscious, they really are probably talking about you.😆 | Repti

Prairie dogs are named for their habitat and warning call, which sounds similar to a dog's bark. They also wag / twitch their tail when excited. | Shalom Wildlife Sanctuary
