Protective Prairie Dog Mother_ - a photo on Flickriver

            While a Turkey Vulture eyed this burrow-filled area, a young Black-tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) returned to its burrow, where mother comforted him for a moment.  Then a few seconds later they were inside the burrow, out of sight, and safe.  Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota.
