Black tailed Prairie dog

The Black tailed Prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) is the most common type of prairie dog. They are found all over the great plains of North America. Generally considered a nuisance by cattlemen and farmers, whose livestock would break legs after stepping in a burrow hole, or collapsing a prairie dog tunnel, are generally not a threat to humans at large. They fall prey to coyotes and various raptor species. Prairie dog towns, as they are called, can stretch for many miles and colonies of prairie dogs can reach several hundred or more.
There are 5 subspecies of prairie dog, of which 2 are endangered. The subspecies are:
 Black tailed Prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) found throughout the great plains
White tailed Prairie dog (Cynomys leucurus) from Wyoming, western Colorado, eastern Utah, and southern Montana
Gunnison's Prairie dog (Cynomys gunnisoni) in the four corners region (southeast Utah, northeast Arizona, southwest Colorado, and northwest New Mexico)
Utah Prairie dog (Cynomys parvidens) in the south central steppes of Utah at about 3,300 feet
Mexican Prairie dog (Cynomys mexicanus) in rock free soil plains of south Coahuila and northern San Luis Potosi provinces in Northern Mexico
The Utah Prairie dog is the smallest subspecies of prairie dog and is endangered, as is the Mexican Prairie dog.
The Black tailed prairie dog does not hibernate like the other ones do. They are also active daily above ground, unless there is rain or snow, or temperatures exceeding 100 Fahrenheit.
