In the United States, the greatest stretch of grassland is the prairie, extending from the Appalachians in the East to the Rocky Mountains in the West.

Prairie dogs are rodents and live in aggregations called towns or colonies. Prairie dog burrows can be as much as 15 feet deep and 60 feet long and sometimes connect with other burrows.
Yes, it is. Actually, they live in large groups called towns, or colonies. They have a leader, kits, queens, and the normal ones that hunt and such. There are many tunnels underground in their home, almost like ant tunnels. There's a nursery chamber where the queens are with their kits, there are nesting chambers, and some other kinds. There are also "fake tunnels", tunnels meant to lead an enemy like a snake to a dead end. Some of the "entrances" dont even lead to anywhere! They're just there to trick the predators and even some humans (specifically, the children who like catching cute small animals)
so when they are asleep in burrows under ground, they are safe.
