Photo" Prairie Dog

Prairie dogs are cute, but they are rodents.  Farmers and ranchers do not like them, however, and sometimes refer to them as "prairie rats."

I took this photo at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum just outside of Tucson.  That explains how I was able to get close enough to be able to tell that this is a female.

This week we have photos of the National Archaeological Museum in Guatemala City posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
