Are all of the prairie dog hotels connected?
Prairie dogs live in complex communities commonly known as hotels, towns, or colonies. Prairie dog hotels usually consist of multiply underground burrows with one or more entrances for each burrow. Many–yet not all–of the holes in a prairie dog colony are connected by underground tunnels.Source:Oklahoma State University: Prairie Dog Ecology and Management in OklahomaSmithsonian National Zoological Park: Black-Tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys ludovicianus)”Structure of a White-Tailed Prairie Dog Burrow”; Lynn A.
