Whistles, Warning and Words: The Language of the Prairie Dog
The Heart of the Story with Gary Metivier
I was out producing a couple of video on prairie dogs for my Youtube series-- "That's Wild with Gary Metivier." I looked up local experts while on a trip to Colorado. What you are about to hear is just fascinating --from how they have unuique language skills to how they have managed to survive so long as a prey specials. Special thanks to my new friends for helping us share this with you, also to my great partners Petersen Plumbing and heating and Morrison Community hospital for sponsoring inspiring stories like this. Here is a link to the video story I produced.
