The Prarie is in Danger!
The Prairie is in danger, and we need your help!
Will you help us?
Look down! What do you see? Under the floor, and under cement used to be a prairie! Why isn't it there anymore. Well many things have taken away most of the prairie
Bison
The Bison were once the largest group of roaming species in North America. But, sadly their home, the prairie is vanishing quickly. So are the bison. Bison, known other as the buffalo, rarely stay in one place when they eat. They instead walk while they're eating to prevent overgraze. Could you imagine never stopping to eat! That would be awfully tiring!
The Prairie Dog
Prairie dog... hmm. It's sounds like a dog that lives in the prairie, right? Wrong! The prairie dog is actually a cousin of the squirrel! Being the cousin of a squirrel would be a hard reputation to live up to for any other animal, but not for the Prairie Dog. They're are actually very smart, maybe even smarter than the squirrel! They dig tunnels for their homes, but there's something special about these tunnels. They all connect! They have different rooms, hallways, and even bathroom tunnels!
The Badger
What do you think when you hear the word Badger? Maybe you think of a grumpy sort of animal, one that is mean and stays away from humans. Well you would be right about one of those things. Badgers do typically stay away from people, these animals can be found in hot dry plains, or rocky areas. They are rarely seen in the winter. Not because they hibernate, but they do take long naps. Long naps up to 29 hours!
