Prairie Dog Neighborhood Watch
Four black-tailed prairie dogs stand at attention near Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming, all focused on something beyond the frame.
Prairie dog towns are one of the most entertaining places to photograph wildlife. There is usually plenty of activity—feeding, digging, chasing, calling—but every so often several animals suddenly freeze and look in the same direction.
This group lined up perfectly for a few seconds, with each prairie dog standing at a slightly different height. It looked less like a wildlife encounter and more like the neighborhood watch had just spotted something suspicious.
