Description
Prairie dogs are social creatures possessing strong family bonds and sophisticated language skills. One scientific report shows that prairie dogs have complex language skills that utilize “words” or sounds that represent specific things they see, like “big human in blue shirt.”
These personable subterranean dwellers are a keystone species, providing essential food and underground labyrinths that other native wildlife use. Unfortunately, their charm and unique skills have not saved them from decades of persecution by those who view them as pests. Every year, prairie dogs are poisoned, shot for sport or even buried alive when colonies are bulldozed to make way for development. “Prairie Dogs,” is a hand-painted digital image and photo composite created in Spadecaller’s Florida studio.
