Prairie dogs are a mix of a capybara and ants and its adorable suprisingly.
Capybar-ant
this is a great description of prairie dogs and i love it
I once saved the life of one that broke his leg. After I nursed him to health I released him and he lived at the end of my driveway in a hole, he came to see me everyday on the way to school and on the way home.
They’re like guinea pigs?
As a west Texas native myself (Odessa) I can conform that it’s hella windy down here and there’s a shit ton of rabbits, prairie dogs, and wind. But sadly, no trees.
I lived in Clovis, NM. Right on the border with Farewell, TX. I Remember when I first flew to Clovis from Albuquerque I saw the terrain getting flatter and browner… I knew I wasn’t actually Ian New Mexico. I was in west Texas no trees for hundreds of miles.
Odessa is in Russia haha 🌈
@@robertschnobert9090 It's Ukraine, if you are speaking about the port city on the Black Sea with the same name.
@@robertschnobert9090 there’s an Odessa in Texas too
@@kwj_nekko_6320 no, I’m talking about the city in Texas
prarie dogs are my favorite animal at the zoo because they dig constantly instead of look depressed
If they dig constantly putting there heads in soil how do you see their heads in the zoo lol
they’re trying to escape
poggers
Prairies
Nobody
We pop out at your party I'm with the GAAAAAANG
. no poggers
I was called a prairie dog as an insult once
I took more of a complement
🤨 I can’t say that I’ve ever heard anyone use the term “God” as an insult before. Kids and teachers at school (in racist ass Bismarck, North Dakota) used to call the Native Americans in my grade “Prairie N*ggers” but never “Prairie God.” 🤷🏼♂️
@@TheBrianFlanagan oops typo
"No one would buy the meat of anything called a dog" Meanwhile, Hot Dog be like: Pathetic
LOL
exactly what i was thinking!
It does not come from something with the word dog in it’s name
hot prarie dog
Wikipedia about Prairie dog: ruclips.net/video/TC73qe2i-KE/видео.html
In Mongolia, we almost wiped out plains marmot. But for a completely different reason! It’s a local delicacy here! I know marmot sounds different to prairie dog, marmot maybe yey bigger maybe but the same animals.
Meanwhile, in the Balkans: Sure, people aren't prarie dogs, but we want that sweet cash
- the politicians
I don't think it's right to cause unnecessary violence toward animals.
@@romanski5811 why you so intelligent huh?! I know how Russians hunted some animals to extinction! Like the Amur Tiger and leopard
@ꅏꍟꍏꌚꍟ꒒
Lions kill the young of other lions. Doesn't make it right for humans to do the same. You can't use the naturalistic fallacy to ethically justify your behavior.
@ꅏꍟꍏꌚꍟ꒒
There is a reason why there exist two different Wikipedia articles on "plant perception".
The fact that Prarie Dogs have identifiable signs of having a language is one of those things that should really make us question our approach to other animals and previous ideas of language.
Personally, I think most or all social animals, which raise their young for extended periods of time are likely to have some type of communication that extends beyond pure instinct. Is human language likely to be more complex than prairie dog language? yes, but it's not a black and white question, there are likely to be gradients and degrees in the complexity of communication different animals are capable of that are only beginning to be explored.
True. Some animals have regional accents, whales and birds for example. You can't tell me there's nothing but instinctive communication like "food" or "danger" in there when there's not only hundreds of different distinct sound patterns but also accents. We'll be in for a shock once we find a way to dolittle with them ;)
You two make very good points. I would like to add Parrots to the pile. Some are even able to communicate with humans.
Holy shit. Not one, but *TWO* intelligent people on RUclips. Who also managed to pretty much sum up my own thoughts on the issue. I guess that may make me a little bias lol
Most animals communicate I'm sure!
Many linguists (scholars who study human languages) actually tackled your questions. The majority opinion at least after Noam Chomsky's theory on the very nature of human language and cognition, is a NO. Human language is uniquely complex in too many aspects that no known animals for now have any possibility to actually 'jump over the gap and follow up the human level'. There were some experiments to disprove this claim, mainly teaching some human-like languages to primates like chimpanzee, but they all failed or look very suspicious (not transparent) to be believed.
BioArk: "Like milk that actually comes in cartons"
Me, a Canadian: *projectile vomits at the thought*
When I discovered praire dogs I died of how cute they are
That Chamberlain chamber caught me off guard, for real. 😂
I love how about to poop ones pants is known as "Prairie Dogging"
Turtleheads poke out also
It means you're about to poop your pants because it's starting to peek out.
I like how your avatar made Armadillos frightening!
So you're telling me this cutie is literally better at applied Physics than I am
We have had over 20 prairie dogs as pets in the last 20 years. We currently have four, and they are the best pets in the world.
8 minutes of Prarie Dogs,so this is nice.
Also I wish y',all a good day.
1:40 Chamberlain chamber 🤣🤣
The prairies use mostly carton milk. Bagged milk is more of an Ontario thing
Yeah I don’t know about the rest of Canada but I live in Manitoba and didn’t even know bagged milk was a thing. We mostly have Milk Jugs and Cartons.
3:50 That's the country of Ireland on screen, not the Island
The real question is: *How was this video made possible by CuriosityStream and Nebula?*

Now I'm convinced that we need an American version of Watershed Down, about prairie dogs instead of rabbits.
What is watershed down?
@@ulightronx4259 It's a British animated movie about a warren of rabbits trying to escape an apocalyptic prophecy by going to safer field. It's excellent but traumatised a generation of British kids with all of the things humans, animals, fences and cars can do to dispose of rabbits.
@@rosswebster7877 you mean watership down?
Alright... We need to stop letting Ontario doing the talking for Canada... Not all of us get bagged milk.
There is a canada outside of Ontario?!?!?!?!?😱
The fact that prairie dogs know more than my college freshman self is both sad and mindblowing.
i love this channel
Texas Panhandle prairie dog town: exist
Ireland: i fear no man, but that thing…it scares me.
as a kid i always thought sandy cheeks was a prairie dog and not a squirrel because my local zoo had a prairie dog town
0:16 Give it up for Candy!
Even the grass eaters are killed 😭
7:33
Real life lore:since you made it of the add here's an extra fact about different species of prairie dogs
Me who skipped the because i knew he would put an extra fact on the end of the video after the ad:My intelligence is beyond your understanding
I skip nothing on this channel.
George English is not your first language
@@wojtek5977 It's ain't my
Cup of tea
Been loving this new channel
About 50 years ago on a trip to Chester zoo in England we first saw prairie dogs in a relatively small enclosure. Over the years, we’d go quite often, they started to spread. First they got a much larger enclosure, then they started appearing in others. By the time of our last visit they were everywhere, probably not quite the billion individuals mentioned in the video but thousands, no doubt. Of course nobody mentioned bubonic plague, that might have put a bit of a dampener on our enjoyment.
That map is wrong as that shows only a tiny bit in Canada when there is a whole lot of prairie dogs stretching between Alberta-Saskatchewan
As tom boy who spemt half her childhood elbow derp in the mud, piles of dirt are indeed objectively cool. :D
Top bell plug at the end there 👍
Entertaining and educational, thanks!
Hugging each other!!So cute!!I seriously dislike people.
i wanna hug em so much they are so cute
I'm rooting for the Prairie Dogs. Go little buddies.
Chambers for Neville Chamberlain 😂 aw dawg (prairie) had me rollin
Livestock can indeed be injured by stepping in their holes, though to be fair, I've know more humans to break an ankle in one than cows. Had one girl snap her ankle during track and field day in highschool, definitely not fun 😖 thanks for the informative video!
Prairie dogs move gallons of PCP through their network tunnels
3:50-3:52 what is displayed here is not the Island of Ireland, but the republic of Ireland
Praile dogs look like a squirrel and a bever mixed
... and nothing like a dog tbh
Could just go to albuquerque. Prairie dogs occupy every street corner
I had a horse fall into a dog hole.... she didn’t break a leg but she tore ligaments and had to retire.
1:03 - They are prairie DOGS, they stand on their hind legs like meerKATS. And, they're rodents. 😵💫
Thank you for sharing.
AWESOME VID !!!!!!!!!!!!
My dude using the metric system!!!❤❤ you are such a champ😄👍
I thought you said fart... not bark. I was very confused for a moment lmao 🤣😂😅😆
lmfao that mormon joke was on point noice hate on them mormons
Yes, one of my friends has, in fact, broken their ankle in a prairie dog hole
Did you shoot them out of mercy?
0:42 we still have bags of milk? I haven't seen them in a long time, it's just 2-4L jugs here🤔🇨🇦
You must be in the Western Canada. I think Ontario and Quebec and other Atlantic Provinces uses bags for milk
I'm prairie dogging right now on the toilet!
prairie dogs are the real prime species of the civilization world!
I read your title 4 times and I wonder whether the bullet blew my head up or the fucking title
This man sounds a lot like real life lore
...... Ik it is him
i write about minor league baseball, and one of the teams is the Amarillo Sod Poodles, which is by far the most contrived name for a prairie dog that I have ever head.
I know a guy who had a Great Dane that lost his leg from a prairie dog hole… that shit is not a joke
hahahahaha doggo has skill issue lolololol
Dann how cute can an animal get
i didnt know reallifelore had a second channel pog
Much like the prairie dogs, I am also the cutest and borrow under the great plains from Mexico to canada.
You can't judge me because I might already be in canada.
I'll visit Hawa Mahal this year
I’ve read about this in little house on the prairie where Laura Ingalls describes one
I would appreciate it if you linked to the extended Nebula video in the description. Searching for videos on Nebula is awful on the android app.
Part of me thinks 'wow we should make sure these amazing animals are protected and don't go extinct' but another part of me thinks 'fuck them tunnel rats'
Are you Vietnamese by chance?
They're cute though
They are gamey, but other than that, they're fine. Not unlike squirrel (It's not surprising since they're related).
JUst to SaY, i'm Prarie Doggin!
Before us prairie dogs invented air conditioning and before them termites and before that bees and before them ants and before even that wasps.
Brooo we actually have a prairie dog town
You are finally the person that made me actually go over to curiosity stream to sign up ... but then I couldn't! I don't have a Credit Card (pretty uncommon in Germany to have one) why is there no paypal option? :(

Prairie dog makeout sesh
See I live neer a national park and we have alot of parries dogs, I get to look at them close up
The island of Ireland includes the country of Northern Ireland as well as the Republic of Ireland as shown. People have been known to get upset over this to put it mildly.
Very much varmints. Cute and impressive but varmints nonetheless. Seen cows break there legs in holes too so it does happen.
The eyebrows on this one @ 8:17
I live in Pueblo West Colorado and we are overrun with prairie dogs on our property. I will say that they are adorable but, also destructive.
Ahh yes Curiosity Pond
2:02 Alan Alan Alan Alan Alan Alan
Why would we smuggle cartons. Bags are clearly the superior option.
To learn prairie dogs have better flooding infrastructure than a good portion of the US 🤔
Meanwhile, the Balkans: Flooding Infrastructure? Oh, You mean swimming.
Where I live in New Mexico, I see Prairie dogs all the time and I'm *convinced* that they actively play in traffic for fun. Not including the ones that I think are just committing suicide
I have been there and its such a great place to see them.
Which part of west texas?
@@ajay-tq7jp In Lubbock Texas
Most milk in Canada is in cartons and milk in bags is better
Prairie dogs are true dogs.
lmao, the island of Ireland is more than 32,000 sq. miles
LOL 😂😂😂
Lil cuties
we have prairie dogs in calgary alberta alot of em
Yeah...as a farmer, we hate prairie dogs with a passion. They completely destroy the grass. Once they move in, they chew off EVERY SINGLE blade of grass down to the root, so short that the grass dies, and the land becomes completely useless for literally any other purpose. Not to mention, with no grass, the dirt is exposed, and gets blown around a lot whenever there is a strong wind. I've felt it, and it hurts your face. I've seen lots of prairie dog towns right beside where people live. Imagine how much dirt gets blown in their faces, not to mention not being able to keep anything outside clean.
So, do the just move out when all the grass is gone?
Allen! Allen! Allen! Allen! Al! Alllen!
Imagine watching bioark
The removed the prairie dogs near my place and put a dog park
I still wouldn't ride a horse at gallop through their 'town' Would break it's leg and mine.
Why didn't you mention other animal tenants and predators of prairie dogs especially black footed ferrets?
They are like ground squirrels.
Prairie dogs are close cousins of Ground squirrels, as both belong to the Marmorta tribe along with chipmunks.
Who the fuck thinks windmills look ominous?
Can you do the Toyota Corolla animal video I heard they are everywhere
Still got 2 times the population of ireland
Neat
how many prairie dogs are there???
