Jim didn’t tell me whether this black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) was telling him to keep the noise down, or specifying how tall one had to be to get on the ride, or drying its nails, or doing the Macarena. It might just be gay.
Om my god, I’m in so much trouble now for perpetuating stereotypes about prairie dogs, aren’t I?
Pretty sure the gesture was to my son, “yo, chillaxe dude”.
