* Kingdom: Animalia * Phylum: Chordata * Class: Mammalia * Order: Rodentia * Family: Sciuridae There are five different kinds of prairie dogs: black-tailed, Gunnison's, Utah, white-tailed, and Mexican. The first four live in the western United States and the fifth lives in Mexico. They are very social animals and live together in mazes of burrows and tunnels underground. Each colony usually has up to 500 prairie dogs in it. The burrows are at least 16 feet deep. The are two entrances. They need two so that fresh air can come in and they can get out if there are enemies coming in. Their enemies are bobcats, badgers, falcons, eagles, and coyotes. They chirp and bark loudly when an enemy is around.

Prairie dogs mate and then have their babies between January and April. The female is pregnant for a month. Prairie dogs are born in litters of 1-6 dogs. Male babies leave when they are between 12-14 months old. They will end up taking a coterie from an older male dog. Most female dogs live about 8 years if they live through the first year. The male will live 5 years if they get through the first one. The first year is very hard on babies because enemies can catch them easily. Prarie dogs hibernate in winter and they eat mostly vegetation but they sometimes eat small insects. === ===
