The Black-tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) occurs from Texas to Canada in the prairies along the eastern front of the Rocky Mountains. The species forms large colonies or "towns" some of which may stretch for miles. The top 7 shots on this page were photographed at Fort Niobrara N.W.R., Cherry Co., Nebraska in June, 2001, with a Canon EOS 3 and EF 500 mm F4 IS lens on Fuji Velvia. The animal at the left is sitting near its burrow watching the photographer. The shot below is of the same animal as it barks it call of warning to the colony. See below for more shots.
