An inquisitive black-tailed prairie dog emerges from its underground home near Devils Tower National Monument, a geological formation that rises 1,267 feet (386 meters) above the grassy plains in northeastern Wyoming, USA. More than 400 prairie dogs live here in a protected 40-acre colony that has been spared the plague, poison, and shooting that has decimated some prairie dog towns elsewhere in the West.
