Badland's Prairie Dogs vs Coyote | America's National Parks | National Geographic

Badlands National Park in South Dakota is home to the largest mixed prairie grasslands in the US. It's kept lush thanks to one animal in particular: the prairie dog. But these little gardeners face threats from all kinds of predators, including coyotes.

Badgers and Coyotes have a Symbiotic relationship, the Badger Digs them out and the Coyote cover the other holes they Escape thru.

Prairie dogs are such cute little creatures that lives in the hole in the middle of the grassland called prairie so they can hide from scary animals such as coyotes, hawks and rattlesnakes.

In 1977 after high school graduation my friends and I took a road trip from the east coast as far as Utah. We stopped in the Badlands for a couple of days. It was amazing for a few east coast kids who had never even heard of the Badlands. I took my kids there in 2001. It’s a wonderful place to visit. I remember watching the prairie dogs for a couple of hours one day. Yeah we were easily amused.
