Prairie Dogs are the most social members of the Squirrel Family and are closely related to ground squirrels, chipmunks and marmots. There are 5 species of Prairie Dogs (genus Cynomys): Black-tailed Prairie Dog ( C. ludovicianus) occupies narrow bands of dry plains stretching from central Texans to Canada. White-tailed Prairie Dog ( C. leucurus) inhabits Western US: Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. Gunnison's Prairie Dog ( C. gunnisoni) has a much shorter tail than other Prairie Dogs, and it is uniquely colored and centers around the Four Corners from 5000-11000 feet. Mexican Prairie Dog ( C. mexicanus) is an endangered species with a limited distribution only within parts of Mexico. Utah Prairie Dog ( C. parvidens) is the smallest of all Prairie Dogs and threatened. Comparisons
Of the two main species of Prairie Dogs, the Black-tailed ( C. ludovicianus) has a black-tipped tail and is much more widespread, occurring sparsely over the Great Plains and throughout the Great Basin. Black-tailed are the Prairie Dogs normally sold in pet shops and may either be a baby caught in the wild or from a breeder.
The other main species, the White-tailed Prairie Dog ( C. leucurus), has a white-tipped tail and inhabits higher altitudes than the Black-tailed. It hibernates in winter and is less colonial in habit.  | |
