A '''prairie dog''' is a small burrowing [[mammal]] common to the [[grassland]]s of [[North America]]. The prairie dog is a [[rodent]] and a member of the Sciuridae ([[squirrel]]) family. Prairie dogs are so named because of their doglike bark and are mostly found west of the [[Mississippi River]]. Their bark is a warning signal to other prairie dogs in the colony.
