Black-tailed Prairie Dogs are social mammals that live together in underground burrows. Because of their social nature they give constant contact calls and barks to the other prairie dogs in the colony, especially in the evening. When they give these contact calls they often stand up on their hind legs and throw their head back when giving their call.

I watched this prairie dog for several minutes while it barked to the other members in the colony. This was one of the more comical poses with it standing on one foot.
