Prairie Dogs in the philadelphia Zoo

Among the contributors mentioned
in toe second annual report are TWEEN
ty-eigbt prairie dogs. la time these
enterprisiug little creatures burrowed

when the old inclosure was dug OUT
and paved with flags, and now ii

them tue hOivs were flooded and the
poor little creatures taken as they

At any time almost you might zee

Park institution for prairie dogs
This was while they held possession
of the lawn-The request was most
willingly granted, bat the catching
required four men and about as many
dogs, and then only three or four
were secured.
There is popular belief ia the West
that the burrowing owl. the prairie
dog, and the ~rattlesnake live together
in great harmony. 1t is probable
that the snake "invades the home OF
the dog for the purpose of feeding up
on the young, while the owl, to save
itself the trouble of digging its own
~habitation, takes possession of the
deserted burrows which are lett in

result was q desperate 6ght, in which
the owls were finally killed, their
wings having been clipped SO that
they could not fly away.
