Fighting for food

Watch out for those teeth!! I came across these two prairie dogs battling it out over what looked like a stick to me but apparently it was something they each really wanted. People aren't supposed to be feeding the critters here but you can see where someone threw some blueberries to them. I guess they liked the stick more!

  1. The antics of these rodents are always entertaining.

    I've noticed people feeding them. Supposedly they have no way of ridding their system of salt. All of their water intake comes from the plants they eat.(Or something like that)?

    The colony by Holy City seems to have really grown over the last couple of years.

    Always like to hear their barking and whistles.
    Fun subject--Good Pic.

  2. LOL when I see this picture I am reminded of the two cartoon chipmunks I used to see on TV!

    Great subjects, nice shooting.
