The Prairie Dogs At MacKenzie Park Had No Problem Surviving The Winter

We took a trip to the Prairie Dog Town in MacKenzie Park here in Lubbock, and we're pleased to report that none of them look like they've missed many meals this season!

What a great place to visit here in Lubbock Prarie Dogs will always put on a nice show, they're curious and hectic behavior is so much fun to watch.

I would even go as far to say they're looking a little on the plump side.  Look closely at the photo above, this prairie dog looks like a chubby bunny with short ears!

Here's another one who obviously put on a few pounds for winter, maybe they need a New Year's Resolution to hit the treadmill or maybe we can get them a big wheel like the hamsters have!  We'll have to talk to the folks at the Windmill Museum, perhaps they can work on that.

Uh-oh it's a show down, but at least they have lots of extra layers to protect them during a fight!

Many of them just sat around in their holes and had a snack.

What was that?  Did someone say food?

He's almost wider than he is tall, somebody call Weight-Watchers!

Ah HA!  Now I see the problem, they've obviously dug a tunnel to a nearby store and have a huge stash underground, very clever!

In all seriousness though, these little critters are so much fun to watch! Here's DIRECTIONS to this great place to visit right here in Lubbock!
