Description
English:

a prairie dog feeding on a plant next to a burrow

Prairie dogs mainly feed on grass but will eat some shrubs, roots, and even prickly pear. Prairie dogs keep grass short in their towns so they can watch for predators and communicate more easily. Grass in a prairie dog town is more tender and nutritious because it's constantly growing, so it's better food for bison and pronghorns.
