	Digimorph - Cynomys ludovicianus (black-tailed prairie dog)
		Cynomys ludovicianus, the fl-tailed prairie dog, is known from the late Rancholabrean to the Recent of the central and southern Great Plains, with a modern distribution from Canada to northern Mexico.
		In all, eight species of prairie dogs are known from the fossil record from the Late Blancan through the Holocene.
		This can be easily seen by comparing Cynomys to Spermophilus columbianus, the Columbian ground squirrel, S.

	The Great Divide (nativeecosystems.org) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Great Divide region, which spans across the southern half of Wyoming, northwestern Colorado, and eastern Utah, is also home to the imperiled white-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys leucurus), a keystone species of this ecosystem.
		The Great Divide is part of the Sagebrush Sea, a vast expanse of sage-dominated canyon and range country found between the Rockies and the Pacific Coast mountain ranges.
		Like its cousins the fl-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus), Utah prairie dog (Cynomys parvidens), Gunnison's prairie dog (Cynomys gunnisoni), and Mexican prairie dog (Cynomys mexicanus), it is a keystone species and is moving quickly down the road toward extinction.

	Black-Footed Ferret (nativeecosystems.org) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dramatic declines of the fl-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus), white-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys leucurus), and Gunnison's prairie dog (Cynomys gunnisoni) have taken a brutal toll on the ferret, which is dependent on prairie dogs for both food and habitat.
		A ferret and her young require perhaps 150 acres of prairie dog colony, so healthy ferret populations require very large prairie dog complexes.
		If efforts to recover white-tailed (Cynomys leucurus), fl-tailed, and Gunnison's prairie dogs (Cynomys gunnisoni) are successful, we may yet recover the fl-footed ferret as well.

		They are rodents within the squirrel family and include five species--the white-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys leucurus), the fl-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus), the Gunnison prairie dog (Cynomys gunnisoni), the Utah prairie dog (Cynomys parvidens), and the Mexican prairie dog (Cynomys mexicanus).
		The white-tailed prairie dog is approximately 13 to 15 inches long and weighs around one to three pounds.

		The Black-Tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys ludovicianus), also known as the common prairie dog, are only found in North America.
		They are actually rodents, not canine as the name would suggest, and are so-named because of a yipping or barking sound that they make when in danger.
