A prairie dog is torn between checking me out and keeping his eye on a possible predator a few hundred yards further away. The prairie dog town this little fellow is guarding is near a well-marked pullout along a main park road, so these prairie dogs are accustomed to seeing humans. They generally disregarded me once I sat down and didn't move. One of them actually got into my camera bag (which was behind me) and stole my bag of trail mix.

This little one is so cute. I have one (Bebe) who looks just like him. He is my love bug. Thanks for sharing.
