Prairie dogs are small, burrowing rodents with stocky bodies, short legs, and a bushy tail. They typically measure about 12 to 15 inches in length, including their tail, and weigh between 1.5 to 3 pounds. Their fur is usually a mix of light brown and tan, providing camouflage in their grassland habitats. They have strong, curved claws for digging and large, round eyes that enhance their ability to detect predators.
