TextPuppy Love
Are prairie dogs in love? They sure like to kiss! Prairie
dogs greet each other by touching their lips together.
The kiss can last up to ten seconds. Prairie dogs also
hold each other’s faces in their paws and hug. In fact,
the more prairie dogs are watched, the more they
kiss and cuddle. And the bigger the audience, the
longer the kiss.
More About Prairie Dogs
Prairie dogs live in grasslands in western United
States and Mexico. These burrowing rodents build
underground tunnel towns and stand guard on
aboveground mounds. They have their own language
of barks, yips, and chirps that gives details about
nearby predators.
