Prairie dog
The prairie dogs are herbiverous rodents and live in the grasslands of North America. Prairie dogs are very social. They live in colonies of multiple prairie dog families. The members of a family inhabit the same territory and interact through “kissing” and grooming. They do not do this with members of other families.
