Prairie Dog Puppies
They're all gathered at their burrow because an alarm was sounded for some threat. This time, I think it was someone walking near.
It's interesting to watch them develop. Just a week ago, they never wandered further than a few feet from the burrow. Now, they're out foraging, maybe up to 50-feet away. Still, they're all alert for threats and scurry back to the burrow whenever an alarm is sounded. I think there are unique alarms for things like birds of prey vs. people walking or a car nearing. They react with different degrees of caustion.
