Answer 2

Prairie dogs are found only in North America, where there are five different species: the black-tailed (Cynomys ludovicianus) , Mexican (C. mexicanus ), white-tailed (C. leucurus), Gunnison's (C. gunnisoni ), and Utah (C. parvidens).Of these five species, only the black-tailed prairie dog occurs in South Dakota. This animal is a stocky, burrowing ground squirrel. It probably has the common name of dog due to its bark-like alarm call. Its genus name, Cynomys, is from the Greek words, kynos , for dog and mys for mouse. The species name is a form of the Latin for Lewis. It was chosen in honor of Merriweather Lewis, of the Lewis and Clark expedition in the early 1800's, when the species was first collected for scientific study.
