These small, social rodents are known for their unique communication skills and interesting behaviors. Belonging to the squirrel family, there are five different species of prairie dogs found in North America. Let's dive into the world of prairie dogs and discover more about these amazing animals.  \nPrairie dogs make their home in the grasslands and prairies of North America. They are known for creating complex, underground burrow systems called 'towns'that can house hundreds of family members. These towns not only provide shelter from weather conditions  \nand predators, but also have separate areas for sleeping, storing food, and raising babies. Prairie dogs prefer open areas with low vegetation, which allows them to keep an eye out for potential threats.  \nThese cute creatures mainly munch on plants. Their diet consists of grasses, seeds, and sometimes insects. During the warmer months, prairie dogs eat large amounts of vegetation to store fat for the winter. When food is scarce, they rely on this stored fat and the roots of plants to survive.  \nPrairie dogs have a unique relationship with humans and other animals. While some people may see them as pests, they are an important food source for predators like coyotes and hawks. Their burrowing activity also helps aerate the soil, which benefits the overall health of the grassland ecosystem. In addition, their towns provide homes for other animals, such as burrowing owls and endangered black-footed ferrets.  \nThere are some fascinating facts about prairie dogs that make them stand out from other species. For example, they have a complex system of communication, using different sounds and body signals to warn eachother of danger. Prairie dogs also have a unique way of greeting eachother, called a 'prairie dog kiss', which involves touching their front teeth together. Now that you know more about these incredible animals, you can appreciate the important role they play in their ecosystem and the unique qualities that set them apart from other rodents.  \nPrairie Dog  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What family do prairie dogs belong to?\u003Cbr>A. rabbit B. squirrel C. rat D. hamster\u003Cbr>2) What type of ecosystem do prairie dogs benefit?\u003Cbr>A. desert B. wetland C. forest D. grassland\u003Cbr>3) Where do prairie dogs live?\u003Cbr>A. forests B. deserts C. grasslands and D. mountains\u003Cbr>prairies\u003Cbr>4) What is the main purpose of prairie dog towns?\u003Cbr>A. entertainment B. gathering food\u003Cbr>C. hiding from predators D. shelter, food storage, and raising\u003Cbr>babies\u003Cbr>5) What do prairie dogs rely on for food during winter?\u003Cbr>A. insects B. stored fat and C. leaves D. berries\u003Cbr>plant roots\u003Cbr>6) How many species of prairie dogs are there?\u003Cbr>A. five B. ten [C. seven](C. seven) D. three\u003Cbr>7) What are prairie dog homes called?\u003Cbr>A. cities B. settlements C. villages D. towns\u003Cbr>8) What do prairie dogs mainly eat?\u003Cbr>A. fruit B. plants C. meat [D. fish](D. fish)\u003Cbr>[9](9)) What type of communication do prairie dogs use?\u003Cbr>A. facial expressions B. smells\u003Cbr>C. sounds and body signals [D. dance](D. dance)\u003Cbr>[10](10)) How do prairie dogs greet each other?\u003Cbr>A. prairie dog high-five B. prairie dog handshake\u003Cbr>C. prairie dog hug D. prairie dog kiss |  |  |  |  | Answers\u003Cbr>1.  \u003Cbr>2.  \u003Cbr>3.  \u003Cbr>4.  \u003Cbr>5.  \u003Cbr>6.  \u003Cbr>7.  \u003Cbr>8.  \u003Cbr>9.  \u003Cbr>10.   |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1-10 | 90 | 80 | 70 | 60 | 50 | 40 | 30 | 20 | 10 | 0 |\n\nReading [www.CommonCoreSheets.com](www.CommonCoreSheets.com) Page 3 of 3  \nPrairie dogs are fascinating little creatures that are a treat to learn about.
