The White-tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys leucurus) occurs in parts of Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. It is somewhat less colonial than its relative, the more common and widespread Black-tailed Prairie Dog. As the name implies, the animals have a white tipped tail. The animal at the left was barking a warning while one below is peering out from its burrow and another is foraging in some grass. The animals on this page were photographed near Vernal, Uintah Co., Utah in June, 2001, with a Canon EOS 3 and EF 500 mm F/4 L IS lens on Fuji Velvia.
