P-Dog

As a follow up to the Canadian Pika postcard I present to you the next in the series, the Prairie Dog.


If you've ever driven down a prairie highway (or any highway for that matter) in the summer then you've no doubt seen these guys squished along side it. They're attracted to car tires like flies to garbage. I was tempted to make a crack about flies also being attracted to dead prairie dogs, but that's pretty much implied. The postcard is from the same company that did the pika postcard.

Prairie Dogs - Found almost anywhere in Western Canada, these small rodents sound alarm with a piercing chirp that alerts the colony to take cover as danger nears.
