Mexican prairie dogs have the same sense organs as other mammals. They use their eyes, ears, tongue, and paws to investigate things and search out their food.
depends on what they are trying to do but if i had to guess i would say their knees
Although Tasmanian devils can and do dig, they expend little energy on making their dens. Tasmanian devils often use caves,hollow logs and old wombat burrows for their dens.

Black footed ferrets use the burrows of prairie dogs as their home.
Prairie dogs are rodents and live in aggregations called towns or colonies in burrows which can be as much as 15 feet deep and 60 feet long and sometimes connect with other burrows. Prairie dogs use prairie and grassland habitat ranging from the mid-west to the western United States. They are considered a key indicator species for the health of prairie and grassland habitat. In the early 1900's humans eradicated prairie dogs and destroyed prairie dog habitat. Some people view prairie dogs as a pest and continue to poison and eradicate them. Ranchers see the prairie dog as a competitor for the grass that cattle eat, so they have poisoned prairie dogs with harmful chemicals that sometimes killed other animals. Also, many prairie dog towns have been plowed over for crop fields or destroyed for human development. Diseases, like, have also reduced prairie dog populations. Scientists estimated we have lost as much as 98% of the prairie dog habitat that once existed.Other contributors:The prairie dogs are endangered due to the plowing of their homes, totally covering them. Due to this the prairie dogs cannot get food and water. They are not endangered at a high level yet their population is dwindling. Some pet stores also sell them as pets.

They can dig burrows underground.some prairie dogs acn dig more burrows to make a little underground city that goes on for miles and miles.also another adaptation is that they can make a call to signal,call,or mate.
They sometimes find underwater dens that were abandoned by other animals and use that. Others use their strenght to help them make there homes.
