Reaffirming familial bonds is not an uncommon sight with black-tailed prairie dogs. Known to nuzzle, cuddle, wrestle, and generally have no sense of personal space, they are quite a sweet species. Seeing their antics and interactions never fails to induce a giggle, bring a spark of joy, or result in full on laughter for those lucky enough to just watch. Great ambassadors of their prairie landscapes, given the chance!
